Gouda cheese, originating from the Netherlands, is one of the most popular and versatile cheeses worldwide. Named after the Dutch city of Gouda, this semi-hard cheese is made primarily from cow’s milk and features a smooth, creamy texture with a mild, slightly sweet flavor. Gouda comes in various age profiles, ranging from young and buttery to aged varieties with a nutty, caramelized taste. Nutritionally, Gouda is rich in protein and calcium, essential for bone health and muscle function. It also contains vitamin B12 and vitamin K2, which support energy metabolism and cardiovascular health. However, Gouda is high in saturated fats and sodium, which should be consumed in moderation to maintain a balanced diet. Its creamy richness makes it a popular choice for sandwiches, melted dishes, and cheese boards, adding both flavor and nutritional benefits to a variety of cuisines.
