Wait… Coffee and Cheese? I Thought It’d Be Sweet — Until I Tasted It.
Be honest — when you first hear Coffee Gouda, what comes to mind?
Something sweet, maybe chocolatey? A dessert cheese, perhaps?
Yeah, that’s what I thought too.
But oh, was I wrong.
See, the Dutch are clever. They didn’t make it sweet — they made it sophisticated.
It’s not like licking a cappuccino. It’s like tasting the warm aroma of roasted beans blended into creamy Gouda — a quiet whisper of coffee rather than a sugar rush.
The result?
A cheese that feels like velvet, smells like your favourite café, and tastes like luxury.
It starts mild — all buttery and creamy — and then, out of nowhere, this mellow, nutty coffee note sneaks up, settles in, and lingers. You can’t quite explain it. You just… want another bite.
And that’s the beauty of Coffee Gouda.
It surprises you. It doesn’t scream flavour — it reveals it. Slowly. Like a good secret.
So next time you see it sitting in our boutique, don’t overthink it. Slice it, let it breathe, and take that first bite. You’ll get it then — that “ahh, now I see what they meant” moment.
Try This Pairing:
A dark roast coffee (yes, double coffee is allowed)
Or go fancy: pair it with a glass of tawny port, a whisky, or chocolate-coated almonds.
Cheese Tip:
Let it sit out 15 minutes before eating — the flavour deepens as it warms up. Cold coffee cheese? Not the same vibe, mate.
