If you are a wine and cheese believer, I have bad news for you. The supremacy of wine as the cheese pairing beverage of choice has faded and today, Americans are holding beer mugs instead of wine glasses.

Let’s say you went home one day and decided to join the shift and bought some beer. Well, there are two ways to go about this scenario: First, you can be very specific about the process and carefully pick out the right cheese for the particular type of beer that you have. Or, you can simply buy a few “safe” cheeses that are generally friendly to all types of beer. If you are type that does not want to get caught up details, then you should take option number two. And of course… highly recommended to go with any beer is Gouda cheese.

Just like plaid skirts, diets and exercise videos, several cheeses go in and out of fashion. Including the popular Gouda cheese from Holland that has faded in popularity over the years. Sneering connoisseurs believe that this particular cheese is ridiculously bland, with a texture that only kids can appreciate, and has no character at all. But before your turn your back on this sweet little yellow cheese, take the time to get to know the wonders of Gouda cheese first.

Gouda cheeses are milder cheeses with a smooth and buttery texture. But depending on how long it has been aged, Goudas vary in texture and taste. You see, the texture of the cheese depends on how long (or how quick) the cheese was aged. Some purists who turn up their noses at young Goudas have far greater respect for the more mature relatives of the clan. Just like any other aged cheese, aged Gouda has a harder and firmer texture than young Gouda, almost the same as Parmigiano Reggiano. Aged Gouda has a complex flavor an intense, butterscotch caramel, salty yet leaning on the sweet side taste often described generally as caramelized of toffee-like.

This rare combination of sweetness makes Gouda the best pair for any beer. Actually, beer is the most ideal complement for cheese in several cultures across the globe. Actually, beer is the de facto complement for cheese in several cultures all around the world. When you come to think of it, cheese and beer practically grew up together on the farm and the grain used to make beer is almost all the time the same as that which is fed to milk-animals that produce cheese. Most importantly, the flavors of beer and cheese are in natural sync, something that wine and cheese do not have.

Gouda cheese is salty-sweet, nutty, and sharp. What better way to chase this flavorful cheese with a refreshing swill of Ale? Invite your friends for a few bottles and get Gouda cheese today!
