Transport yourself to a European world: frolicking through an emerald field in wooden clogs while beautiful tulips bloom below a gently spinning windmill. Ah, the Netherlands! While that fertile soil and those lush green pastures feel great under the pitter-patter of Dutch clogs, it serves a deeper, culinary purpose. Those luxuriant fields are also great at nourishing cows that produce incomparably rich milk, making traditional goudas (such as our Red Wax Gouda) the brazenly buttery cheese they are. But with cheeses such as Trader Joe’s Double Cream Gouda, additional cream is added to the already rich Hollander milk, creating one of the most luscious beginnings to a batch of cheese found in a turophile’s world.

A stunning Double Cream Gouda that is produced similarly to our other goudas, again, just with the supplementary cream added to the already rich pasteurized milk. Our supplier uses microbial enzymes making for a vegetarian friendly cheese and it’s colored using annatto to help achieve the cheese’s beautiful golden-orange color. The super high butterfat content - upwards of 60% - due to the added cream help make this cheese as decadent when snacked on by its lonesome as it is when melted into a hot dish in need of a cheesy companion. So grab a wedge for a number of melty meals or to tack on your next cheeseboard at your neighborhood Trader Joe’s.
