Vintage Lot 18

Artikaas Vintage Lot 18 (or Artikaas 18 Month Aged Gouda), undergoes an extensive 18-month ageing process. Made in the Netherlands, the cheese is crafted from cow's milk. This Gouda cheese exhibits a complex texture, featuring subtle crystallization and a rich ochre hue within. It's an awarded cheese. At the 2024 World Championship Cheese Contest (in the USA), Vintage Lot 18 secured the prestigious first runner-up position, while also winning Best of Class (first place) in the category: Gouda, Extra Aged (over 10 months). It boasts buttery, nutty, caramel, and salt crystal flavours. Notably, its complex flavours evolve gradually as it reaches full maturity. This cheese is a delightful addition to a cheese board or a satisfying snack. Pair it with an amber ale to enhance its savoury profile.
