This smoked gouda is a version of the world-famous Dutch Gouda cheese of Holland. Smoked Gouda cheese is produced in Holland in some of the world's most modern, computerized dairy plants. Yet, the Gouda cheese is still smoked in ancient brick ovens over smoldering hickory chip embers. The brown, smoky rind is not only edible, it's the best part of the cheese. This Dutch cheese keeps all the subtle textures of gouda, with the pleasant addition of a hearty smoked taste that makes it a little nuttier than traditional gouda. It's texture is buttery, creamy and smooth with sweet and salty notes. Cut cheese, up to 6.6 lb.
