The Market

Jan, Roos, and their single herd of cows make these intensely crystalline wheels on a tiny island in South Holland. Wilde Weide carries a much brighter flavor profile than other goudas - think perfectly ripe pineapple and an undercurrent of toasted cashews and sweet cream butter. One of our favorite summertime snackers.

Our best (ok, only) Belgian offering. OG Kristal is a Gouda style that has the same crystalline texture and caramel flavor of the finest cheeses from across the border in Holland but with a flair all its own. Big brown butter notes persist throughout with a slight acicidty in the end.

A rich and sweet goat’s milk Gouda sourced from a small farm in the Brabandt region of Holland. Aged under the watchful eye of Betty Koster at Fromagerie L’Amuse just outside of Amsterdam, Brabander is silky and sliceable, with a flavor like toasted marshmallows. Capable of convincing even the most goat-skeptic cheese lovers, Brabander is also incredibly wine-friendly, although we love it for a fun dessert bite, topped with some of Venchi's chocolate hazelnut spread. 

Betty and Martin Koster source their Goudas from the best cheesemakers and cheesemaking co-operatives throughout the Netherlands. L’amuse signature is aged at a higher humidity and temperature than most Goudas. This keeps the paste moist and sweet, while still developing crunchy tyrosine crystals. Think butterscotch candy in cheese form.
