Black Pepper Gouda 200g

Our Black Pepper Gouda is a traditional Dutch-style cheese, handcrafted in the Indian Himalayas using milk from cows and buffaloes grazing in pristine mountain pastures. Naturally ripened and free from chemicals or artificial coloring, this semi-hard cheese blends Gouda’s creamy nuttiness with the bold, aromatic bite of freshly cracked black pepper. Manufactured under fair trade principles, it reflects purity, tradition, and culinary creativity. Available in three aged versions, each stage offers a distinct taste journey — from smooth and gently spiced to bold, complex, and pepper‑infused.

• Young Black Pepper Gouda (3–8 Weeks) → In its young stage, Black Pepper Gouda is mild, creamy, and buttery, with Gouda’s gentle sweetness lifted by the subtle heat of black pepper. The spice is soft and aromatic, adding a lively kick without overwhelming the cheese’s mellow character. This version is approachable and versatile, perfect for everyday cooking and light snacking.
• Mild Black Pepper Gouda (3–4 Months) → As it matures into the mild stage, the cheese develops firmer body and nutty undertones. The black pepper integrates more fully, lending a rounded, savory warmth with a gentle bite that balances Gouda’s mellow tang. This stage offers a more complex flavor profile, ideal for baked dishes, pizzas, and fusion recipes where spice enhances richness.
• Mature Black Pepper Gouda (7–12 Months) → In its mature form, Black Pepper Gouda is bold and nutty, with hints of butterscotch and a firmer bite. The pepper infuses the cheese with deep, aromatic spice and lingering heat, creating a robust flavor experience. This stage is perfect for gourmet burgers, lasagna trays, wine pairings, and festive cheese boards.
