Whoever said gouda was a low rent cheese, never had this. Gouda made on the farm is aged for an extended period, till it develops a flavor that makes it a special branch of cheese. It tastes oily, nutty, and sharp. The texture is dry, but firm and tight with those little crunchy crystals. It feels bad in a way that is oh, so good.
