My favorite cheese

Tom from Nashville, Tennessee

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 others have stated, it has a creamy, almost butterscotch quality. It melts in your mouth just like fine white chocolate. Although I haven't tried cooking with it, I highly recommend it for snacking. Read more

Great cheese no stink

kanto fox from Hesperia, CA

This aged Gouda was delicious,a very firm almost hard cheese with a nice subtle aroma, it surprised me with the complex range of flavors that were almost exactly as described. Also the texture of the cheese was great but a little interesting because of the small crystal bits in the cheese. Read more

Beemster- yummy!

Hans from Vista, Ca.

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. Eating pleasure without the temptation to "gorge". It may change my eating habits! A wonderful, genteel snack, after dinner or hors d'oeuvres cheese. Speechless! Read more

Great!!

Amanda from Hershey, PA

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! I get the butterscotch and pecan stuff stated above, but don't be misled--this is not a sweet cheese in any way. It's very sharp, but you could still eat a block of it in one sitting because it's such an amazingly different flavor. I will definitely be buying this for gifts and myself!! Read more

Good but not great

Good but not great

DutchFoodie from Honolulu, HI

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 more

Absolutely Unbelievable

Absolutely Unbelievable

Cheesygirl from Melbourne, FL

The heading says it all. This cheese is extraordinary. It is good with everything, on everything, and especially just by itself. Every person I've shared it with has come to buy their own. I'm just one woman, but buying the whole 24lb wheel is actually pretty tempting. You will LOVE it! Read more

extra good!

extra good!

Gourmet Group from Massachusetts

This double-aged gouda is a strong flavorful cheese - very different from the normal gouda. We compared it with the triple-aged gouda and found both to be on the dry side (as expected), but the double-aged gouda still could be sliced without crumbling, and had a smoother texture than the triple-aged. This cheese is best with a good full-bodied red wine (Australian Shiraz or rich Cab) and a great baguette. Read more

Extra DOUBLE aged perfection!

Extra DOUBLE aged perfection!

Cisco-ZinFan from San Diego, CA

Another incredible delivery from Beemster. This extra double aged gouda is for fans of dry-style cheese, however you cannot help but discover the creamy body was it begins to melt in your mouth. This is a true gem and pairs incredibly well with rich, dark red wines. Another slam dunk purchase[...] Read more

This is extraordinary. I put a thin slice on my tongue and let it dissolve. The flavor lingers. It is rich and deep. Awesome ! Read more

Husband Of One Wife from Bremerton, Wa.

[...] description of butterscotch and pecan on a brittle texture are accurate. Unlike other cheeses, it is tough to limit oneself to one slice or piece. It is the best Gouda I have had. Read more
