Steven Finch –
Confession: before this, I’d never tried real, authentic, aged, Dutch Gouda before. I thought I didn’t like Gouda, because all the domestic “Gouda” I bought at the grocery store tended to be indistinguishable from mild cheddar–nothing really to write home about. When I finally got my hands on this, it changed my whole impression of what Gouda is and can be! It has a rich and bold flavor, totally unlike anything I’d found in the grocery stores before. If you think you don’t like Gouda, give this one a try.
