Who doesn’t love cheese? But what kind of cheese is your favorite? Now that’s a hard call. So we headed for Wisconsin to see how the masters do it. We went with our heads full of visions of cheddar and colby – and came away amazed instead by the fact that the world’s best cheese might be something that’s ‘Gouda Nuff’ to share with everybody.
Gouda is a Dutch classic and it’s certainly not a Wisconsin specialty. So leave it to the Dutch to bring it here. Marieke Penterman grew up in Holland and was dairy farming with her husband there. They wanted to grow, but there’s really no room to do that in The Netherlands. Wide-open Wisconsin seemed the natural choice so they packed up the farm and moved to the States.
