This cheese is truly one of the best goudas you will ever have. The wheels are hand-selected and then aged an additional 2 years at L'Amuse cheese shop. The result is a cheese with a deep amber color, crunchy protein crystals, and a butter, salty flavor with undertones or caramel and hazelnuts. Pasteurized, Traditional Rennet.
Essex Cheese
New York, NY, USA
- Pasteurized cow’s milk
- Holstein Friesian breed
- Made in a cooperative dairy in Westbeemster
- Aged about two years
- Betty's opleggers sometimes age wheels at warmer-than-normal temperatures. It’s a high wire act of affinage, one that can produce off flavors if not done carefully.
But when it works, as it does with L’amuse Signature, it creates a cheese with a distinctive roasted hazelnut and burnt caramel flavor that retains its velvety texture.
