Nevertheless, it would not be to the Middle Ages that the Dutch cheese would take international importance and begins to export it to other countries of Europe. This happened during the centuries XVI and XVII. They are many places of Holland where the exquisite cheese is produced, and share characteristics as fields of humid herb and clayey land where the cows be fed in the better way. These zones are found chiefly on the north coast and the southern region of Holland. Alkmaar is one of these cities completely delivered to the furor and flavor of the cheese.

The Cheese Gouda world-famous by their private smell and delicious flavor, ideal to accompany wines in an excellent combination. This cheese is characterized for being of yellowish color and owes its name to the city of the same name located in the Southern part of Holland. The curious thing is that the City of Gouda does not produce the better cheeses of the type Gouda of Holland. These they are done in the Northern region, and they enjoy excellent reputation by their good quality. The denomination “Gouda” is not found registered, and for that reason is that this type can be produced d cheese anywhere of Holland without no problem.



The elaboration of the Gouda begins from the milk pasteurized of cow, processing it and reheating it until the coagulation be separated of the serum. The ten percent -on the average- of the mixture is composed of coagulation, which they are pressured inside molds you circulate during a pair of hours. These molds are the responsible for the form of the cheese, to which immediately him is impregnated in brine. Thus a better flavor is obtained and a harder bark. Then the salt is absorbed and itself drought the cheese around 4 days, avoiding that dry of the all. Later it covered himself him and I age himself at least during two weeks. They passed this time is ready to be consumed.

The Gouda is used to presenting in formats since the 2.5 kilograms to the 30 kilograms of weight. Its paste is of firm texture, of straw color and is easily cortable. In the interior of the cheese multiple eyes of different sizes are presented.

The general Of Gaulle said that he was “practically impossible to govern a country with more than 200 varieties of cheese”. They have passed already several decades since that said and currently the things would be complicated him still more, since the offering and variety of the French cheeses has been increased until arriving at the impressive number of 500.
