Located in: Cheese, Holland

The cheese market in Holland is changing rapidly. For years, Holland was known for Gouda and Edam, two simple cheeses that appeal to the masses. But as tastes have moved upscale, the popularity of Gouda and Edam has waned. With almost every cheese plant in Holland geared up for the production of these two cheeses, a gap between supply and demand threatened to put the smaller cheesemakers out of business. While many got bought out by larger competitors, several shifted their strategy to new and inventive specialty cheeses. Since the mid 1990's, many new cheeses have been developed in Holland. Rouveen, the maker of this cheese, is one of the pioneers of the specialty movement.

Rouveen's Walnut Gouda turns plain old boring Gouda into something fantastic and exciting. A cheese you will crave endlessly, Walnut Gouda is everything you expect it to be and more. Subtle yet flavorful, the walnut adds a sensual warmth to the basic Gouda cheese, whose texture is not gummy like many Goudas on the market. A truly surprising cheese, we recommend serving Walnut Gouda at your next party or get together.

Comments about Walnut Gouda:

I enjoyed this as part of a cheese/olive/bread light meal. If you like gouda you should give this a try. The walnuts come through just enough so that the taste and texture add a lovely touch, and are not overpowering.

My wish has come true!

Comments about Walnut Gouda:

I first had the Gouda Walnut (pronounced Gouda Woolnut) in Aruba. When I visit Aruba I can't wait to purchase this cheese for I could never find it in the States. Now I'm going to be spoiled knowing I can purchase it direct from igourmet.com Its absolutely delicious with turkey breast on fresh rye bread.

Very tasty! Nuts could be somewhat larger which would make the texture more interesting. But very tasty nonetheless.

Comments about Walnut Gouda:

This makes incredible grilled cheese sandwiches with a toasty, nutty flavor thats beyond compare. I like it with a nice wholegrain oat bread and some finely shaved ham and perhaps a touch of sweet mustard. Its also great on a cheese platter with some crackers and fresh fruit.
