Prima Donna

The inspiration for Prima Donna was to create a hybrid of Parmigiano Reggiano and Gouda, and they seem to have found a pretty good balance between the two.

Description

Firm and slightly oily, a bit of salt in the finish. The only cheese that approaches Parmigiano Reggiano in sales.

The Story

Born in 1990, this is essentially Gouda made with starter cultures that are typically used in northern Italy. These cultures result in a sweeter cheese than you would typically find in Holland.  They continue to refine the cheese, as in 2022 where they switched to a microbial rennet suitable for vegetarians.

Quick Facts

Country of Origin: Holland
Milk Type/Treatment: Pasteurized Cow
Rennet Type: Vegetarian Rennet

Usage & Pairing Tips

Pair with most beers or red wines. We love it with Black Lava Cashews or Cinnful Cocoa Pecans. Melt in a grilled cheese with fig jam!
