Also, known as ‘Old Groendal’, OG Kristal is a top choice, cow’s milk, aged Gouda cheese from Belgium which is available here in Leamington Spa! It is aged for 18 months, creating its characteristic firm texture & rich, complex flavour. The aging process allows for the formation of crunchy cheese crystals, which add to its unique texture. This delicious cheese is known for its deep, caramelised flavour with notes of butterscotch, toasted nuts, and a hint of salt. Because of its complexity, it is a favourite among cheese enthusiasts seeking a robust and satisfying taste experience.
OG Kristal pairs well with a variety of foods and beverages. It is excellent on a cheeseboard with fruits like apples and pears, nuts, and crusty bread. This Gouda also pairs beautifully with robust red wines, aged port, or a rich, malty beer, enhancing its complex flavours.
We love this aged Gouda & would highly recommend it to any cheese enthusiast! Please pop in & give it a try!
