Mature Mustard Gouda 1.600kg

Our Mustard 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 mellow nuttiness with the tangy, aromatic bite of mustard seeds. Mustard seeds are valued for their digestive and antioxidant properties, while their warm spice adds depth and liveliness to Gouda’s creamy‑to‑caramel evolution. Manufactured under fair trade principles, it reflects purity, tradition, and culinary creativity. Available in four aged versions, each stage offers a distinct taste journey — from smooth and gently spiced to bold, complex, and richly aromatic.

• Young Mustard Gouda (3–8 Weeks) → In its young stage, Mustard Gouda is mild, creamy, and buttery, with Gouda’s gentle sweetness lifted by the subtle tang of mustard seeds. The spice is soft and aromatic, adding a lively kick without overwhelming the cheese’s mellow character.
• Mild Mustard Gouda (3–4 Months) → As it matures into the mild stage, the cheese develops firmer body and nutty undertones. The mustard seeds integrate more fully, lending a rounded, savory warmth with gentle tang that balances Gouda’s mellow tang. This stage is ideal for baked dishes, pizzas, and fusion recipes where spice enhances richness.
• Medium Mustard Gouda (5–6 Months) → By the medium stage, Gouda’s caramel notes emerge, and mustard seeds add a sharper, tangy accent that lingers on the palate. The texture is semi-hard, and the flavor complexity makes it ideal for gratins, risottos, or stuffed breads where layered taste is celebrated.
• Mature Mustard Gouda (7–12 Months) → In its mature form, Mustard Gouda is bold and nutty, with hints of butterscotch and a firmer bite. The mustard seeds infuse the cheese with deep, aromatic spice and lingering tang, creating a robust flavor experience perfect for gourmet burgers, lasagna trays, wine pairings, and festive cheese boards.
