What is Ammerlander Gouda Cheese?
Gouda is one of the world’s most popular cheeses — a Dutch-origin semi-hard cheese now made by leading European dairies including Ammerlander, one of Germany’s most respected cheese makers. It’s characterised by a smooth, supple body, a mild and creamy flavour, and outstanding melting behaviour. Where some cheeses turn greasy or stringy under heat, Gouda melts into a silky, even consistency — which is exactly why it’s a go-to for burgers, toasties, and hot dishes.
Ammerlander Gouda carries 48% FDM, placing it among the richer semi-hard cheeses — that higher fat content is what delivers both the creamy flavour and the superior melt.
