Oude Beemster Gouda is produced by the CONO Cooperative in Beemster Polder, Northern Holland. The cheeses are made using pasteurised milk from Holstein-Fresian cows.

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.
