Murray's
| Murray's Estate Gouda, produced at the Kaamps Estate in Deurningen, Netherlands, is a farmstead, semi-hard cheese aged 4-6 months using pasteurized Holstein-Friesian cow milk. It features a unique caramel wash that accelerates sweet, Maillard-reaction flavors like butterscotch and crème brûlée, with a dense, fudgy texture. The cheese uses traditional animal rennet and adheres to Dutch quality standards within the Gouda Holland PGI framework. It pairs well with Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir, malty ales, and sweet or savory foods like cherry preserves and cured meats. The dark caramelized rind is intentional, not a sign of spoilage. | |
