What it is

Gouda is a semi-hard cheese originating from the Netherlands. It is made from cow's milk and is known for its mild, slightly sweet, and nutty flavor. The cheese is produced by washing the curd, which removes some of the lactic acid, resulting in a less tangy cheese.

Why it's used

Gouda cheese cubes are often used as a snack food, particularly in lunch boxes or cheese platters. Manufacturers include it for its flavor and texture, adding a savory and slightly sweet element to prepared meals, salads, and cheese assortments.

Health notes

Gouda cheese is a source of protein, calcium, and vitamin B12. The FDA considers cheese, in general, to be safe when consumed as part of a balanced diet. International bodies like EFSA have evaluated cheese and dairy products, recognizing their nutritional value. High consumption of cheese, due to its saturated fat content, may be a concern for cardiovascular health according to some dietary guidelines.

Allergen info

Gouda cheese is derived from cow's milk, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
