Gouda with Fine Herbs

Available from the Charcuterie Suzanne Delicatessen counter at Arkadia Foodstore Gozo

Gouda is a mild and creamy traditional Dutch cheese. This type of Gouda is seasoned with nettles, which not only provide a kick of tangy aroma to the cheese but are also very beneficial for one’s health.

Gouda cheese with fine herbs is a delightful fusion of traditional Gouda's rich and nutty flavor with a burst of aromatic herbs. The blend typically includes parsley, chives, and sometimes thyme or rosemary, creating a harmonious and savory taste. This combination adds depth to the creamy Gouda, making it an excellent choice for cheese boards, salads, sandwiches, or melting over warm dishes. The fine herbs elevate the overall experience, appealing to both cheese connoisseurs and casual enthusiasts.

To top it off, pair with a glass of Italian red table wine or a medium-bodied Merlot.
