Where to Buy Walnut Gouda in NZ
In store
Walnut gouda is a cheese most people go looking for rather than trip over in a chiller. So start with our Where to Buy Gouda in Auckland & page. That is where we keep track of where you can find our cheese in person, and it will save you driving across town on a hunch.
What you are looking for on the shelf is the 170 g pack. It has come off a whole wheel that we brought in from Europe and cut here in Auckland.
If the shop you usually go to does not have it, ask at the counter. Shops order what people ask for, and one person asking is how most things end up in a chiller in the first place. It costs you nothing and it is faster than waiting for the shelf to change on its own.
Online
The other way is to order it. The Walnut Gouda page is where you do that, and we send cheese around the country.
Ordering suits this one. You are not standing in front of a counter working out how much to point at. You get the 170 g pack, cut and packed to the same size each time, which makes it an easy thing to add to an order without thinking too hard about it. One for the week, and one sitting in the door of the fridge for whoever turns up.
If you want a reason to open it the day it arrives, our stuffed chicken breasts is the one we come back to.
What freshly cut actually means
It is a phrase that gets used loosely, so here is the plain version of ours. The cheese comes to us from Europe as a whole wheel. The wheel is cut and packed in Auckland, and then it goes out to you.
The wheel is the part that matters. While it travels, the cheese has its own rind around it. The cut faces happen here, in a room in Auckland, rather than on the other side of the world before it gets on a boat.
That is the whole story, and it is a fairly ordinary one. It is a supply chain, not a ceremony. None of it means you need a reason to buy the cheese. Put it in a sandwich on a Tuesday.
If you are a cafe or a deli
Different job, different page. If you are buying for a menu or a counter rather than for the fridge at home, start at Wholesale Gouda for NZ Foodservice. Tell us what you go through and how often. The cutting happens in Auckland either way, so the format can be a conversation rather than something decided for you months ago.
