Why Gouda Cheese?
Gouda cheese, originating from the Netherlands, is celebrated for its creamy texture and distinct taste.

What is Gouda Cheese?
Gouda cheese is named after the city of Gouda, a major trading hub in the Netherlands. However, the cheese's origins are more complex. Initially known as Stolkse cheese, named after the village of Stolwijk where it was made, Gouda cheese became widely recognized after the cheese market was established in Gouda in 1540. Today, it's known for its rich heritage and delicious taste.
