Brabander Gouda
from £12.00
Goats’ milk gouda with a sweet, butterscotch flavour and a smooth, creamy texture.
This lesser-known goat’s milk gouda has been produced in the Netherlands since the early 1800s and comes from the Brabant region of Southern Holland using the milk of Saanen goats. The cheeses are mild yet rich with caramel and butterscotch flavours, buttery and nutty with a hint of hay.
Betty and Martin Koster at Fromagerie L’Amuse select these Brabander cheeses direct from the cooperative at around 3 weeks old and mature them on to between 6 and 9 months. At L’Amuse the goudas are matured at higher humidity levels than any other affineur (or oplegger in Dutch) which gives the crystalline texture whilst maintaining a moist, fudgy texture.

When serving cheese for a dinner party or at an occasion, it can be difficult to know how much to buy. As a guide, we suggest approximately 150g of cheese per person if you are serving an after dinner cheeseboard or 250g if your cheese will be your main course along with charcuterie etc.
Typically, a 250g piece of cheese will last at least two weeks kept in the fridge. Larger pieces with last longer.
