Oh My Gouda!
Based on a Dutch Gouda recipe, Oh my Gouda from Cobb Hill Cheese is a washed curd cheese aged 3 to 4 months. This sweet and nutty natural rind cheese is made with rich and creamy raw Jersey cow milk which imparts a smooth and buttery flavor.
All of Cobb Hill cheeses are made from raw milk from pastured Jersey cows that are bred and raised at Cobb Hill Farm. From May to September the herd grazes on pasture maintained without artificial pesticides or fertilizers. During the non-pasture season, the Jerseys eat hay from their own fields and neighboring farms.
It’s the hint of tart apple, the honeyed aftertaste and the firm, flaky texture that makes VT Farmstead's Windsordale the perfect cheese to add sweet bursts of luscious wild blueberries! Try out their Blueberry Windsordale this week!

Vermont Farmstead Cheese Company gently cares for their land (in South Woodstock VT) and the lives of their animals to make fresh, quality, and artisan cheese available to all.
