As an attempt to broaden people’s idea of goat milk, DeWaag has created an original cheese called Emmengoat. An emmental style cheese made with goat milk, it’s not your typical goat cheese. It’s approachable, nutty, and sweet with a nice tang at the end.

Unlike traditionally made cheeses, this unique farmstead cheese is handmade in small batches, using only pure unpasteurized milk. The family farms where this cheese is made are able to combine century-old traditions with handcrafted care. This combination guarantees a cheese with a stunning, complex flavor.

A little honey goes a long way. Made with a drizzle of honey added to pure goat milk for a cashew-like nutty sweetness. Slightly sweet, full of flavor, yet not strong or salty. It’s simple to slice, grate, or cube, wonderful in salads or as a snack with fruit. It is easy to see why kids love it as well. Some might even say it is beelicious!

Always creamy and mildly sharp, with definite hints of sweet bourbon and/or whiskey. Wilde Weide has a very distinct texture, finely sandy before melting completely and evenly on the palate. Long finish.

The milk for this cheese comes from a small farm where the sheep are treated like family. Even though the cheese has been aged for a year, it has developed a sweet and nutty flavor, almost like carmel candy, with a great depth of flavor.

Unlike most Dutch Goudas, L’Amuse signature Gouda is not matured in cooler temperatures. This mid temperature affinage in the cheese cellar allows the carefully selected cheeses to develop a fully rounded flavor. This hard cheese has a spectacular texture that is velvety and melts in the mouth. The flavor is nutty and salty with hints of burnt caramel ending with a complex, long...

Cumin seeds are added before this cheese is cured, imparting fragrance, flavor, and a slight dryness to the texture.

Creamy, semi-firm and crystalline, Old Amsterdam is a classically-made cow’s milk Gouda aged for 1 year. Typically, aged Dutch Goudas begin to turn nutty with caramel or butterscotch notes. This aged Gouda is no exception. Serve at room temperature with almonds and crisp apples, when in season.

The addition of dried red hot chili peppers provides a nice flavor contrast to the mild and creamy flavor of this Edam.

This Gouda is aged for one year minimum on wooden shelves. With a slightly crumbly texture and a tangy flavor, it has a peppery-whiskey flavored finish. Valiant and daring, fashioned to emote the eponymous intrepid painter!
