The older Gouda cheeses become harder, stronger, and darker, taking on a buttery and nutty flavor. The deep flavor of the older Gouda makes it great for cooking and is a great melting cheese often used in homemade macaroni & cheese.
It works well on any cheese board, compiled with other cheeses or in a lot of dishes including cheese-based soups, smoked gouda mashed potatoes, grilled cheese sandwiches, in fondue or with wine.
