Lavender and Thyme
Gouda Cheese
Netherlands

Artikaas’ Hay There Gouda cheese is aged for 60 days, resulting in an aromatic, creamy and earthy cheese. Tiny sprigs of aromatic lavender and herbal thyme are gently mixed by hand with curds prior to pressing and aging the wheel. They bring fresh floral and herbal notes, and a subtle sweetness, to the earthy, creaminess of Artikaas’ Raw Milk Gouda. So refreshing.
