A semi-hard Dutch-style cheese, with a mild, slightly sweet buttery flavour, and complex caramelised notes that improve with age. 

As with all our cheeses made at Bridge Street Cumin Gouda is hand made by our experienced cheese team. The cumin seeds are added to the curds and whey just prior to pre-pressing. The cheese is matured for at least 3 months then cut and packed by our amazing packing team.

Enjoy Cumin Gouda served on a cheese board along with smoked sausage, pecans, walnuts, almonds and salty snacks or just eaten by itself.

Ingredients – Pasteurised Milk, Salt, Cultures (Milk), Enzyme (Non-Animal Rennet), cumin seeds

$16/kg. Each bag is packed individually. Please note that weights are approximate and will vary as seen in store at the Eltham Cheese Bar.

We restock regularly with offcuts coming out of the factory (within the week) so continue to check again soon if 'out of stock'

How to enjoy and care for your Cheese

1. Remove cheese from the refrigerator 1-2 hours before consuming
2. Unwrap the cheese and let it breathe and come to room temperature; this enhances the flavours.
3. When serving together on a board use separate knives for each cheese type (white soft, blue, semi-soft, firm etc).
   
4. Serve with fresh or dried fruit, nuts, preserves and crusty breads (consider what goes with each type of cheese).
   
5. Include a range from mild-soft to medium and strong cheese styles, add names or descriptions.
6. Re-wrap cheese in its original paper/foil or in greaseproof paper or plastic wrap.
7. Store remaining cheese in a refrigerator (at 4°C).

This cheese can be frozen, but please be aware that the cheese texture may be drier when defrosted.
