A pasteurized goat's milk Gouda from the Netherlands, aged at least six months before it leaves the cave. Goat milk Gouda is the move when you want the structure and sweetness of a Dutch wheel but with a cleaner, brighter backbone from the goat's milk underneath.
The paste is dense, smooth, and ivory, firm enough to break in clean slabs under the knife with the occasional tiny crunch from protein crystals working their way in. On the palate it opens nutty and brown-buttery through the middle, then pulls into a long, sweet caramel finish that lingers past the swallow. There's none of the tang you might expect from a goat cheese here, the age rounds it all out into something closer to a butterscotch pull with a savory thread underneath.
This sits in a sweet spot a lot of aged Goudas miss, old enough to have real concentration and crystal crunch, young enough that the paste hasn't dried into shards. A genuinely distinctive wheel for anyone who already loves aged Dutch cheese and wants to see what goat milk does to the recipe.
Firm and dense ivory paste that breaks in clean slabs under the knife, with a subtle crunch from protein crystals worked in through the aging.
Pronounced flavor without being heavy, the goat milk softens into something nutty and caramelly rather than tangy, with enough age behind it to give real depth.
Long, sweet finish that pulls into burnt caramel and toasted nuts, lingering on the palate well past the swallow.
The fresh-milk note has mostly cooked off in the cave, leaving just a quiet buttery thread under the bigger caramel and nut flavors.
Brown butter and toasted hazelnut run right through the middle, the calling card of a Gouda that's had real time in the cave.
A faint savory pull in the background, but the paste leans sweet and nutty rather than mushroomy or barnyardy.
No real heat or piquancy, the finish stays sweet and round rather than sharp.
Waxed rind
Wax-coated rind, not for eating, present only to protect the paste through the long aging.
Gouda stands on its own, but the right partners turn a wedge into a moment. Regional pairings first — they were built for each other.
The sweet, caramelly finish wants something with its own brown-sugar character. Tawny Port and Amontillado meet the nuttiness head-on, while a Belgian Dubbel or bourbon plays into the burnt-caramel pull.
Sweet, sticky fruit and honey echo the caramel finish, and the dense paste holds up to bolder spreads like quince and fig.

Real reviews from The Cheese Store of Beverly Hills Google Business Profile. Curated by Dom and his team since 1967.
Domenico and his team are fantastic. I’m a chef and I often get my supplies from The Cheese Store — unique products, carefully selected, from top Italian and French cheeses to excellent local ones.
Absolutely loved the cheese store! Everyone was super helpful and friendly. Lena helped us — she was very knowledgeable on all the cheeses: where they came from, what the region is like, what they are known for. It was like wine tasting for cheese.
Ordered several cheeses from them and the wrong items were delivered. Contacted the store and they recognized the error and immediately sent the correct order the next day without any fuss. Really appreciate the promptness and professionalism.
