Cheese

Best Wine with Gouda

Smooth, creamy gouda with caramel and butterscotch notes pairs with medium to full-bodied reds and oaked whites.

Why This Pairing Works

Gouda's caramel and butterscotch notes created by aging mirror the vanilla and oak in aged wines. The cheese's creamy texture pairs with wines of similar weight and richness.
