Many people know Gouda as a mild, bendable white cheese with a red wax coating. Aged Gouda is radically different from young Gouda. Made in Holland, Gouda can also be aged from 6 months to several years. Greater age means denser, drier texture, the development of crunchy crystals in the cheese and an an increasing number of intense flavor of roasted nuts, butterscotch and bourbon. ‘Reypenaer’ means ‘ripening’ in Dutch. Produced by the van den Wijngaard circle of relatives, Reypenaer Gouda is made from the milk of cows fed on summer grass; the soil in the area is especially fertile as a result of the periodic flooding of the plains. The cheese is kept in a 100-year-old cheese ripening warehouse on the banks of the Old Rhine River in the green heart of Holland. Whereas factory cheese is ripened by artificially altering the temperature and humidity in which they are stored, Reypenaer is naturally ripened over a longer time frame. There are shutters and hatches in the building which can also be opened and closed and in the winter they the cheese is exposed a bit of heat but in a different way it’s up to nature as to how hot or humid it is. Biting into Reypenaer is like the cheese equivalent of fudge; yielding and creamy but you want to use your teeth. Like fudge, it tastes of caramel and is sweet with a slight grittiness. Along with eating the cheese straight, this Goudaisn’t so aged that you’ll’t melt it overgrilled or roasted vegetables. It’s an excellent cheese for red wine lovers. Reypenaer 1 Year Gouda is made with animal (not vegetarian) rennet and is gluten-free.
