Named for a small town near Rotterdam, Holland where over 800 years ago farmers brought Gouda Cheese to market. Made in wheels of 8-10 pounds, Gouda has a slightly more buttery flavor than Edam. Renowned throughout the world, Gouda can be used at any meal: at breakfast-with hard rolls and salami and hard boiled eggs, or to compliment luncheon meats or as a dinner appetizer.
