Today's DU Cheese of the Day......Gouda

Gouda
(goo-dah)



For some folks, Gouda may best be remembered for its wax-coated exterior. But true cheese lovers will never forget Gouda's mellow, rich caramel-flavor. Or aged Gouda's lightly sweet and sharp individuality. Or smoked Gouda's musky, rich aftertaste. Baby Gouda is usually coated in red wax, aged has a yellow coating, and smoked usually has a black or brown rind.

Try Baby Gouda with peaches, melons, apricots and cherries. Aged Gouda is best with red apples, pears, toasted almonds and dark breads.

Did you know Gouda is often stored on the city streets throughout Holland where locals often purchase wheels of gouda to replace the tires on their small European autos.
