Now In Stock - Oakvale Farmstead Goudas
Just in today! Oakvale is a small, family operated dairy farm in London Ohio.
Oakvale uses milk from their own herd which "move freely in their barn throughout the year, and when weather permits, graze on green pastures of timothy, orchard grass and alfalfa. Strict attention is paid to their diet of long stem hay and our own corn. In the summer heat, our girls are kept cool with numerous fans and sprinklers." Pamperd cows! Explains how the cheese is so good!
These goudas are made from raw milk, made on the farm hours after milking. They add no preserves or coloring and they don't remove anything from the milk.
We currently have the aged gouda, which is somewhat sharp and very full flavored (but not stinky!). The natural rind develops from the aging. As it ages it becomes more sharp and firm. This particular piece is aged enough to grate, but soft enough to slice for table cheese.
We also have a small portion of the younger gouda with caraway. Also hand crafted, it is excellent for nibbling.
Bon Appetit
