Queijo do Campo Gouda with Fenugreek

This is a Portuguese Gouda with fenugreek, made from raw cow's milk by Queijo do Campo in Odemira, Alentejo. A Dutch tradition of flavoured Gouda, made with milk from cows grazing the Alentejo coast all year.

Flavour and texture

Fenugreek seeds are a Dutch classic in Gouda. They add a sweet, nutty taste close to maple syrup, which sits well with the creamy, buttery paste of raw milk Gouda.

Food pairing

Serve it in cubes with apple and walnuts, or melt it on a toasted sandwich. For wine, a rich Alentejo white, an oaked Encruzado from the Dão, or a 10 Year Old Tawny Port.
