Gouda Pounder Cheese Wheel

Gippsland Jersey gouda pounders are made naturally and simply with jersey cow milk which results in a mild, buttery creamy taste that is very moorish. Gouda, or "How-da" as the locals say, is a Dutch cheese named after the city of Gouda in the Netherlands. It is one of the most popular cheeses in the world, accounting for 50 to 60% of the world's cheese consumption. 

As cheese matures, the weight of the cheese becomes lighter and it does not need refrigeration. Once opened the cheese will last up to two weeks stored covered in the fridge. 

Gouda cheese!

We’ve just spent the weekend hanging out at the Mould Festival with thousands of curd nerds where we introduced festival goers to our jersey Gouda pounders that were received with much curiosity and love. A beautiful thing about gouda is that doesn’t need refrigeration as it’s covered in wax, making it a wonderful picnic/camping/gift kinda cheese. 

Gouda originated in the Netherlands and is one of the most popular cheeses worldwide (although maybe not very well known in Australia!).

Gj co-founder, Sallie was fortunate to go on a study tour to the Netherlands in 2018 where she discovered that every street corner had a cheese shop, and that the quality of cheese is all about the quality of milk used during the cheese making process. In Holland, Gouda comes in all sizes and flavours and is very much loved by the Dutch people. She fell in love with this beautiful cheese and is proud to have a Gippsland Jersey version for the Australian people.
