Rispens Sheep Gouda

Nutty and toothsome with notes of brown butter.

The Flavor Experience

This gouda is the type of cheese you’ll keep eating until it’s gone. Made from sheep’s milk, this smooth variety is toothsome and nutty without hinging on sweet. Overtones of brown butter make it the type of wheel you want to slice and snack on all afternoon!

The Story

Jacob Rispens and his herd of 300 Lacaune sheep live in the quiet town of Morra. Their humble home is north of the Netherlands, close to the icy waters of the North Sea. Although most farmers in the area specialize in cattle and meat production, the Rispens focus on their flock and sustainable cheesemaking.

Usage Tips

Enjoy with pretzels and a pint of crisp pilsner or topped with fruit preserves and a glass of Chardonnay.
