Gouda
'Nati Gouda
Made by Urban Stead Dairy in Cincinnati using milk from a third-generation Ohio Valley farm. This is a Dutch-style Gouda aged well past a year, allowing those classic caramelized flavors and protein crystals to develop. The natural rind helps preserve a more rustic, grassy character compared to waxed Goudas. It’s also a super decorated cheese, consistently placing in major competitions like ACS and World Cheese Awards, including a 3rd Place Best in Show finish at the 2026 ACS Awards.
