Gouda - The most famous cheese fromThe NetherlandsGouda is the most well-known cheese of all Dutchcheeses. It was named after the Dutch town of Gouda, where it has been sold at the market for centuries. In the 19th century, the production of this type of cheese started to spread across the rest of the Netherlands, resulting in the fact that Gouda cheese became the most commonly made cheese.

Traditional Gouda, full of flavour and aroma,is available in different stages of maturity, including mild, mature and even extra mature. Gouda contains a minimum of 48% fat in dry matter.

International quality seal for one of theworld’s most famous cheesesTo protect the original Gouda cheese, the European Union has granted a PGI-recognition to the genuine Dutch Gouda cheese with the term Gouda Holland. PGI stands for ‘Protected Geographical Indication’. Only products that owe their reputation to their geographical origin and are produced there canbe considered for such protection. All the naturally-ripened Gouda cheeses from DOC have thisPGI-recognition. This can be recognized by the special Gouda Holland quality seal.

Gouda in different shapes and packagingDOC supplies naturally ripened Gouda cheese in wheels of 4.5 kg or 12 kg, in pieces, slices or as grated cheese. It is possible to have your own label applied on our cheese.

Maasdam – A characteristic Dutch cheeseThis creamy, semi-hard cheese full of ‘eyes’ (holes)is made from cow’s milk, and is available both in wheels and blocks. The gas that is produced inside

the cheese during the ripening process,gives Maasdam it’s special shape and taste. Due to it’s appearance full of holes, Maasdam is often referred to as the Dutch Emmental.
