Gouda 29 months
Gouda 29 months is a more refined and sophisticated version of the young Gouda we all traditionally know.
This amber-colored, very hard cow’s milk cheese, is one of Holland’s best kept secrets. Discover the Old Gouda that the Dutch keep for themselves!
It has a fragrant scotch-whiskey type of aroma with a flavour that is both sharp and sweet at the same time. You will enjoy tasting notes of caramel, molten honey, and butterscotch.
A must try with our pale ale beer La Goudale for a tasty moment. It pairs extremely well with either dessert wines or lighter reds such as Loire Valley red wines or Pinot noir.
What Does 29-Month Aged Gouda Taste Like?
As Gouda ages, moisture gradually leaves the cheese and its flavors become more concentrated. At 29 months, the result is rich and full-bodied, with notes of toasted nuts, caramel, butterscotch, and savory salt. The flavor is typically more intense than that of young Gouda, while remaining balanced and pleasantly smooth.
You may also notice small, crunchy crystals throughout the cheese. These are a natural feature of long-aged Gouda and add a delightful contrast to its firm, crumbly texture.
How to Serve Extra-Aged Gouda
For the best flavor, take 29-month Gouda out of the refrigerator about 20–30 minutes before serving. Enjoy it on its own, or pair it with:
Fresh or dried fruit, such as pears, apples, figs, or dates
Almonds, walnuts, or pecans
Honey, fruit preserves, or a little mustard
Crusty bread, crackers, or crispbread
A full-bodied red wine, dark beer, or port
Its bold flavor makes it a standout on a cheese board, especially alongside milder cheeses, fresh fruit, and savory accompaniments.
Cooking with 29-Month Aged Gouda
Because extra-aged Gouda is firm and strongly flavored, a little can go a long way. Grate or shave it over roasted vegetables, potatoes, pasta, soups, or salads. It also adds depth to grilled cheese sandwiches and savory pastries. For a smoother melt, combine it with a younger cheese.
Why Choose 29-Month Aged Gouda?
If you enjoy complex cheeses with a firm bite and lingering flavor, 29-month aged Gouda is a memorable choice. Its long maturation brings out rich, nutty and caramel-like notes, while the natural crunchy crystals make every bite distinctive. Serve it as part of a cheeseboard, pair it with your favorite drink, or use it to add a bold finishing touch to everyday dishes.
