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 »

"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 …" Read Full Review »

Absolutely Unbelievable

"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! "
