Aged Zwart (Goudse)

Oud Zwart is an aged Goudse cheese that has been given around a year to mature. You can taste it right away: a bold, spicy flavor with a creamy undertone and those characteristic ripening crystals that crunch softly between your teeth. With each bite, you’ll feel a gentle tingle on your tongue. The texture is firm and slightly crumbly, yet still easy to slice with a cheese plane.

Recognizable by its black rind, this is a versatile cheese. Cut it into cubes for the charcuterie and cheese board, where it really comes into its own, or lay a slice on a hearty piece of bread. If you love a pronounced aged cheese, this one won’t disappoint.
