Gouda (pronounced either Goo-dah or the Dutch ) is a yellowish
Dutch cheese named after the city of
Gouda. The cheese is made from
cow's
milk that is cultured and heated until the
curd is separate from the
whey. About ten percent of the mixture is curds which are pressed into circular
moulds for several hours. These molds are the essential reason behind its traditional, characteristic shape. The cheese is then soaked in a
brine solution which gives the cheese its rind and distinctive taste. The cheese is then dried for a couple of days before being coated to prevent it from drying out, then it is aged, depending on age classification, for a number of weeks to over a year before it is ready to be eaten. The term "Gouda" is now a generic name, and not restricted to cheese of Dutch origin. The term "Noord-Hollandse Gouda" is registered in the EU as a
Protected Designation of Origin. Strangely the cheese itself was originally developed in Gouda which is in the Dutch province Zuid-Holland, hence its registered name seems incorrect.
