Midnight Moon Gouda Cheese ReviewSubmitted by Jon on Fri, 07/03/2009 - 20:07 |
Okay. Here's the good stuff. Although it's marketed by Cypress Grove in California, it's actually made by cheese makers in Holland using a traditional gouda recipe. The main difference is that it's made with goat's milk rather than the usual cow's milk.
Lord knows I'm not one to gush over a cheese, but this stuff is really good. It has a unique and sweet flavor that I guarantee will induce yummy noises.
And the flavor, which grabs you right away and hangs on, is very elusive. Is that brown-buttery? Not too strong, not too mild. Is it caramel-y? Something floral perhaps? Peanut brittle. That's it. No..... ... That's not it....... But whatever it is, it's yummy.
