Marieke Gouda Mature 6-9 Months
Semi-hard Cheeses
Marieke Gouda Mature 6-9 months is a semi-hard cheese made by Marieke Gouda. This cheese is crafted in the Netherlands and aged for a period of 6 to 9 months to develop its robust flavor profile.
During its maturation, the cheese acquires a firm texture and a slightly sweet, nutty taste with hints of caramel. It is made from raw cow's milk, following traditional Dutch cheese-making techniques.
The cheese is often enjoyed on its own, with crackers, or as part of various culinary dishes, adding a rich, creamy complexity.
Producer
Marieke Gouda is an American cheesemaker based in Thorp, Wisconsin. The story began when Marieke Penterman, originally from the Netherlands, moved to the United States with the desire to bring the tradition of authentic Dutch Gouda.
On the family farm, together with her husband Rolf, she founded Hollands Family Cheese, where everything takes place in one location – from the cows to the finished cheese. Their Gouda is produced according to authentic Dutch recipes, using fresh milk from their own herd, traditional cultures, and equipment imported from the Netherlands. Thanks to their dedication to quality and artisanal craftsmanship, Marieke Gouda has won more than 200 national and international awards to date.
Today, their cheeses represent a blend of European tradition and American innovation, recognized for their outstanding quality and richness of flavor.
