Potato Goat Gouda | 11 Lbs. AVG.

Potato Goat Gouda 11 Lbs.

On a trip to Holland, we discovered a limited production Dutch chevre created by the Van Dijk family. Dorothea, named after the Van Dijk’s mother, was created at the request of the famous chef Cas Spijkars. Cas wanted to win the annual Dutch award for “Most Unusual Food” and thought that a flavored goat cheese might do the trick. They began experimenting with a secret ingredient – potato skins – chosen because the potato is an important food in Dutch culinary tradition. But Cas thought that initial efforts with the cheese/potato combination fell a little flat, so they kept working. Finally, after tweaking the recipe by adding some basil oil, coriander oil, and chopped onion, Cas and the Van Dijks had completed their masterpiece – and subsequently won the award!

Each wheel of Dorothea (only 4,000 are made per year) is pampered with the optimum aging conditions. Humidity and temperature are meticulously adjusted every few days to assure proper maturation. This wonderfully delicious cheese is made from pasteurized milk, but retains all of the taste for which goat’s milk is famous. It is aged over 60 days to develop a full, nutty flavor and a body that is firm, but not hard enough to grate. Dorothea has an aroma reminiscent of the fresh outdoors and an unforgettable flavor.
