Product details & serving guidance
Artikaas 5 Years Gouda, Half Pound
Artikaas Vintage Lot 60 is a five year Gouda, and it shows what patience does to a cheese. The paste turns deep amber and sweet with butterscotch, and the crystals that come with age give it a finish that recalls Parmigiano-Reggiano with a nut butter middle.
Five years of age — long enough for the sugars to concentrate and crystallize
Pasteurized cow's milk — from the Netherlands, with vegetarian rennet
Crunchy crystals — the signature of a well aged Gouda
Butterscotch sweetness — deep and sweet rather than merely salty
A Parmigiano style finish — long and savory, with nut butter underneath
How to enjoy Shave it over a bowl of pasta, or break it into pieces with a knife and eat it with dark beer. It is also excellent grated into a cheese sauce that needs backbone.
Cheese candy, as the label almost says, and the sort of thing to keep a wedge of in the drawer.
