Here are some famous brands of Dutch cheese.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Goudse kaas<\/strong>\u00a0: or Gouda cheese, is a yellow colored cheese sold not just in the Netherlands, but all over the world. It was named after the Gouda, a\u00a0<strong>stad<\/strong> in the south of the Netherlands. This cheese has a distinctive sweet flavor. It is semi-hard and can be slightly crunchy. The cheese can be creamy in taste with a caramel like taste. I like pairing this cheese with a light fruity wine with crackers. I like my Gouda mild, but you can get a stronger version, depending on how long it&#8217;s been aged.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Leidse kaas <\/strong>: or Leyden cheese. It&#8217;s named after a city called Leiden. This type of cheese has a variety of spices in it, like cloves (<strong>kruidnagel<\/strong>), cumin seeds (<strong>komijn<\/strong>) and caraway (<strong>karwij<\/strong>). (Caraway is a plant used in Dutch soups (<strong>soep<\/strong>), stews and cheeses.) It can be spicy, dry, salty, and tangy. I like this cheese with some white wine. It&#8217;s also delicious as a party platter served with some salami and crackers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Edammer <\/strong>: Edam is from the Dutch town of Edam. Edam cheese is a popular export because it does not spoil as easily as the Leyden or Gouda cheese. It&#8217;s also a good cheese for those on a diet. It has less fat than both the Leyden and Gouda cheese. In addition, it&#8217;s a great choice of a cheese for those who don&#8217;t like smelly cheeses. This cheese is great with fruits like pears and melons.<\/p>\n<p>With that I leave you with the phrase, <strong>Smakelijk eten<\/strong>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you ever tried Dutch kaas?
