About Gouda Cheese
Gouda is the classic Dutch semi-hard cheese, available young through matured and in blocks or wheels. Younger Gouda suits slicing and melting for foodservice and retail; matured grades carry more flavour for the deli and specialty trade. It is one of the most recognised and reliably traded EU cheeses.
Retailers, wholesalers, foodservice distributors and industrial processors are the core buyers. Age/maturity, fat-in-dry-matter and format are the variables to confirm, and Gouda needs a chilled chain — we agree grade, packing and storage against your destination and arrange reefer where required. Shipment is FOB Rotterdam / Antwerp, CIF and reefer on request.
