Gouda Cheese
Gouda Cheese is a semi‑hard Dutch cheese with a mild, slightly sweet and nutty flavor that’s widely used in sandwiches, melting applications and cheese boards. It is a substantial source of protein, providing about 24.9g of protein per 100 g, and is commonly aged to develop its characteristic texture and taste. Nutritionally it also contributes important minerals like calcium and vitamin B12, but as a full‑fat hard cheese it contains notable saturated fat and salt; enjoy in moderation or as part of a balanced meal. From a nutritional perspective, Gouda Cheese delivers high‑quality protein and useful micronutrients, making it a good choice when you want a flavorful, protein‑rich dairy ingredient, though lower‑fat cheese options can reduce saturated fat intake.
