Located in: Cheese, Holland

If you are a gouda lover, then Volendam is a must have! Inspired by the scenic Dutch fishing village of the same name, Volendam has a butterfat content of 55%. Compare that to the 48% found in traditional Gouda, and you'll understand why this cheese has an extra creamy texture and rich, buttery flavor. It is so creamy that it sticks to your knife when cutting it! Enjoy it as a snack just on its own, or as a featured ingredient in your favorite sandwich or salad.

Made from pasteurized cow's milk.
Photo depicts whole 6 lb. form of cheese.
We cut and wrap this item by the 1/2 pound.
Please contact us if you would like to purchase the whole form.

Comments about Volendam:

This cheese is very rich and smooth and creamy. It definitely does stick to your knife when you cut it. I don't know if I would buy it all of the time because it is pretty rich.

It is OK

By Dutch from Snowflake, AZ on 5/10/2008

Cons:

Expensive

Comments about Volendam:

It is OK, but I wouldn't go out of my way to get it. Prefer a cheese with more flavor and aroma, ie, the Sardegnan cheese made with goat and cows mild and herbs, well aged
