The Best Gouda Cheese Brand At The Store Has A Luxurious Taste
BY KJ Lannon
Gouda is a mainstay of the cheese board, and for a luxurious Gouda cheese experience that you can easily access at store shelves, opt for Rembrandt's 12 Month Aged Gouda Cheese.
It's available in one-pound wedges wrapped with images from Rembrandt paintings. You can see a rich amber color before opening the package, which hints that it's been aged well.
It has a firm, slightly crumbly texture with a rich, nutty flavor and sweeter, almost caramel-like notes. You'll also notice tiny crystals like those in aged Parmigiano-Reggiano.
These crystals only form when cheeses have aged long enough for the proteins to break down. They are a pure pleasure on your tongue, releasing all kinds of complex, salty flavors.
