5 Year Aged Gouda

Visually, this cow's milk Dutch Gouda is a sight to behold. Its golden-hued exterior boasts a caramelized appearance, hinting at the depth of flavor within. Cutting into it reveals a dense, crystalline interior with tiny, crunchy protein crystals scattered throughout, a hallmark of well-aged cheeses.  There's an intense sweetness present, akin to caramel or butterscotch, that coats the senses and adds depth to each bite.
