Signature Gouda by L'Amuse- 2 Years

L’Amuse Signature Gouda is one of the most famous Goudas around, predominantly for its aroma that consists of roasted notes of hazelnut and caramel. It has a creamy texture that is slightly salty and nutty with an extremely complex, long finish and perfectly dispersed protein crystals that provide a delightful crunch with every bite.

Fromagerie L’Amuse uses the milk from Holstein Friesian cows to make this exciting Gouda, then proceeds to mature it for no less than 2 years and never in cooler temperatures. This takes place all year round and causes the flavor to change slightly in the cheeses depending on the season because of the varying milk used.

Long-ripened Bordeaux wines or Rhone wines work very nicely with this flavorful cheese, but we especially recommend a chilled Colheita port to accompany it. It is difficult to resist this signature Gouda due to its candy-like quality, making it perfect to serve as part of a cheese plate after dinner.

This unforgettable L’Amuse Signature Gouda is made at the Cono cheese-making plant in Northern Holland and then personally matured by Fromagerie L’Amuse’s founder, Betty Koster, who is said to have the ‘magic touch’ for affinage.
