Nowadays, most cheese is made in factories, but more popular among the Dutch foodies is cheese made on the farm, preferable in a traditional way and with milk from cows that eat fresh grass. Like it should be\u2026<\/p><p>In the Middle Ages cheese making in the Netherlands already started to become serious business. Because of the wet soil being perfect for cows, especially the farmers in the regions North and South Holland and Friesland specialized in this craft. On the city square of Gouda in Zuid Holland you can still find the 17<sup>th<\/sup> century \u201cWaag\u201d, the official weighing station for cheese. During the Golden Century Dutch export started, and nowadays almost 7 billion euro worth of dairy products are exported around the world.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"187\" height=\"311\" data-src=\"https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_2955.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"40799\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_2955.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/?attachment_id=40799\" class=\"wp-image-40799 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_2955.jpg 187w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_2955-180x300.jpg 180w\" data-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 187px) 100vw, 187px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 187px;

The wagon wheel shape, the weight and especially the time the cheeses are ripening make a real (aged) Gouda. Although this cheese is named after the city, by now it can be produced anywhere. I love old Gouda cheese. The deep taste, the saltiness and the crumble, mmmmm. But not all cheeses are ripened in the traditional way, \u201cOld Amsterdam\u201d for example, is not very old at all!<\/p><p>How do we eat cheese in the Netherlands? On our sandwiches for lunch of course! And as a snack with our drinks, we even order small cubes of our favourite one in a bar, eaten with a spoon full of mustard. Maybe we should call it a Dutch tapa?
