We experienced a moment of culinary divinity when we first sampled this double-aged Gouda. Previously, we doubted that any cheese could be more flavorful than Beemster's 18-month Aged Gouda, but their X.O. indeed sets a new bar. With this 26-month gouda, we first noticed its delicate, brittle texture. After we tasted it, the flavor of butterscotch permeated the palate, followed by alternating waves of whiskey and pecan.

Made from pasteurized cow's milk.
Photo depicts whole 24 lb. form of cheese.
We cut and wrap this item by the 1/2 pound.
Please contact us if you would like to purchase the whole form.

My favorite cheese

"I recently was diagnosed as diabetic, so I've pretty much given up sweets. Cheese has become my dessert, and I have tried several different kinds. I found the Beemster Classic in the local grocery store, and really liked it. Unfortunately, they don't always stock it, so I went online, searching for a reliable source. [...]As much as I like Beemster Classic, this Extra Double Aged Gouda is even better. As ot..." Read Full Review »

Good but not great

"This cheese is good but its not as good as some of the other aged Dutch cheeses available e.g. Old Amsterdam. Also, this cheese was sold to us in a triangle shape; very odd for a Dutch cheese. I grew up in Amsterdam, and I have never seen a cheese sold like this...." Read Full Review »

"What a PLEAASANT surprise! I tasted it at [...] and very advisedly plunked down $[$]pound for a small section. I love how it pleases the palate with just a small piece.

"We have spent many $'s on Gouda - & we bought this one due to the other comments & our expectations were well exceeded! It was the perfect age - crumbly, but not dry! It even had the delicious crystals in it (which we die for!!!)

Great for parties - people fight over it! "

"Wow! I thought Beemster Classic was the best gouda I'd ever tasted, and I actually saw this at my local grocery store and had to try. Amazing!
