This is one of the world's truly great cheeses, popular for its mellow and rich caramel taste that pairs well with just about anything, and makes Gouda a great table cheese, guaranteed to please all palates. Imported from Holland, Gouda is highly recognizable for its red waxy rind (not edible) and smooth, supple pate. Pair with a dry red wine, or go for lovely contrast with a fruity white wine. |
