Old Amsterdam
Old Amsterdam is a Dutch Gouda-style cheese made from pasteurized cow's milk. The cheese is matured at three stages, and each one brings out certain characteristics of flavor and texture. As the wheels mature at different rates, master cheesemakers decide when each wheel is ready for consumption based on texture and flavor.
The texture of Old Amsterdam is hard and smooth, dotted with occasional eyes and tiny granular crystalline pieces of amino acids. The color of the paste is similar to butterscotch, while the flavors are sweet, rich, toasty, nutty, robust, and caramel-like.
The cheese is great for cooking and goes really well with figs, pistachio, and salads. It can also be shredded over soups or used in sandwiches.
