what is smoked gouda
Smoked Gouda has a slightly sweet and versatile flavor that blends well with a variety of ingredients. Gouda, which has an edible rind, is a cow-milk cheese originating in the Netherlands. The cheese is smoked over hickory chips for that woodsy smoked Gouda taste. Smoking the cheese gives it a semi-hard rind, but the center of the cheese retains a softer texture. From gourmet breakfasts to kid-friendly dinner options, there are many ways to use smoked Gouda.
