Marieke Gouda only makes one kind of cheese, Holland’s biggest star Gouda! But that doesn’t mean they don’t make a wide variety of flavors. Cranberry, honey clover, bacon and even stinging nettle (there’s a reason!).
There’s a wonderful pantry at the factory where all those spices and flavorings are stored – it smells pretty much like your grandma’s pantry, which is to say delightful.
Cheesemaker Marieke Penterman tells us about what’s in that room that goes in her cheeses – including an explanation of how making a variety with stinging nettle is actually a good thing!
