| Description | Cheese made from pasteurized cow's milk, produced with natural whey starter and vegetable rennet |
|---|---|
| Appearance | The cheese has a deep orange color. Aged for 2 years, it has an intense flavor |
| Taste | Gouda Signature is capable of replacing Parmesan. The notes will be those of a fresher and more buttery texture, but the umami aspect will provide the same contribution |
| Maturing | At least 24 months |
| Curiosity | It is produced in the Noord-Holland region, which stretches from The Hague to above Amsterdam. The farming follows strict rules aimed at animal welfare: Holstein (Frisian) cows are allowed to graze freely for at least 200 days a year, and farmers are not permitted to "cut" the pastures before June. This greatly impacts the quality of the milk and the fat content. Unlike large companies that use paraffin, L'Amuse uses natural coatings based on "wood glue," which allows the cheese to breathe |
| Our selection | A few kilometers from Haarlem, west of Amsterdam, in the Netherlands, lies Fromagerie L'Amuse. Renowned for their knowledge and selection, they are also famous thanks to Betty, a legendary figure in the world of cheese. Over the years, she has written books, appeared on TV shows, worked with Michelin-starred chefs, and even served royal families. Founded in 1989, L'Amuse excels in direct imports from small producers and distributors, offering a very diverse selection, as well as in-house aging of cheeses |
| Suggestions | Try it in croquettes with a blue cheese or to finish off gratins. For a bold pairing: 2-year-old Gouda and caramelized cashews with maple syrup and chili pepper. Excellent together with black tea, 12-year-old single malt Scotch, fruity red wines, Stout beer, and white Port |

The producer
Fromagerie L'Amuse - IJmuiden - Holland
Why we chose them
The first time we met Fromagerie L'Amuse was in Bra - Cheese 2007 and at that time we have been astonished by their selection, in particular of
Gouda. Betty & Martin, helped by the their daughter Thasia, run two beautiful fromagerie in Holland, the first in Santpoort-Noord (in the top 10 of
Europe) and a new one in Amsterdam. The family works side by side with producers, selecting cheeses one by one when young, and maturing it for
long time with long expertise. Gouda, affinè by L'Amuse, is produced by Cono Kaas, a cooperative in Beemster, nord of Holland. The place is
amazing, four meters below the level of the sea, very fertile with amazing grazes for Holstein cows. The long affinage in rooms that are not cooled
gave to the cheeses a round, buttery and complex taste that you could not forget
