Wine & Words

We experienced a moment of culinary divinity when we first sampled this double-aged Gouda. Previously, we doubted that any cheese could be more flavorful than Beemster's 18-month Aged Gouda, but their X.O. indeed sets a new bar. With this 26-month gouda, we first noticed its delicate, brittle texture. After we tasted it, the flavor of butterscotch permeated the palate, followed by alternating waves of whiskey and pecan.

* Made from pasteurized cow's milk.

Serving Suggestions: Beemster X.O. Extra DOUBLE Aged Gouda
Serve with French or Italian pumpernickel or rye bread. Serve with wheat crackers, saltines, or mini toasts. Concord grapes, pears, pineapple, honeydew, golden delicious apples, and cherries go well with gouda.
Pairing With Wine
Dry reds such as Valpolicella.
Dry whites such as Pinot Chardonnay. Sherry, Port, Craggy Range Merlot Gimblett Gravels Vineyard, and most dessert wines go well with Gouda too.
