Made from cow's milk pulled from herds grazing on the reclaimed polder land of the Beemster region, where the mineral-rich soil gives the milk a distinctive sweetness that carries all the way through the aging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 18 months, the paste is firm and dense, breaking into small flakes under the knife rather than slicing cleanly. The flavor leads with toasted almond and a real caramel sweetness, then opens into butterscotch and a warm, brown-butter pull on the finish. You'll find small tyrosine crystals scattered through the paste, a hallmark of proper aged Gouda and a sign the cheese has had real cave time to develop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis sits in the sweet spot for aged Gouda. Younger Beemsters are creamier and milder, the 26-month and older versions get drier and sharper, but 18 is where the caramel and the bite balance out just right.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peacock Cheese","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46564958470313,"sku":"10001071","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0667\/6027\/8185\/files\/cheese-beemster-classic-aged-gouda-18-month_4ae93b9d-0a43-4675-9f21-a7e81fc8b7c5.jpg?v=1762822180","url":"https:\/\/cheesestore.com\/products\/beemster-classic-aged-gouda-18-months-lbs","provider":"The Cheese Store of Beverly Hills | Domenico's Foods","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
