What it is

Smoked Gouda is a semi-hard cheese originating from the Netherlands. It is made from cow's milk and is known for its distinctive smoky flavor, achieved by smoking the cheese over wood chips. The cheese is aged for several months, developing a firm texture and a rich, nutty taste.

Why it's used

Smoked Gouda is often used to add a rich, smoky flavor to a variety of dishes. It melts well, making it a popular choice for pizzas, grilled cheese sandwiches, and sauces. It can also be enjoyed on its own as part of a cheese board or in salads.

Health notes

Smoked Gouda is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. As a dairy product, it is a source of calcium and protein. Like other full-fat cheeses, it contains saturated fat and cholesterol. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated many food additives, and EFSA has also conducted numerous safety assessments on food ingredients. No specific health concerns are associated with moderate consumption of cheese within a balanced diet.

Allergen info

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