This is unlike any Gouda cheese I've had before. The extra-long aging dramatically changes it. The flavor is incredibly intense--more than I ever would have guessed possible for a Gouda. In fact, I found it past the point of optimal flavor, just too much.
As a lesser concern, I also found it difficult to remove the waxy rind. It wouldn't peel off except in small bits, and it was tough to cut.
Will I buy it again?
No. I'm glad I tried it, because it's kind of an eye-opening experience about what aging a cheese can do. But I think they took a good thing too far.
