Coolea

Hard (Gouda style) from Co. Cork, Ireland

A Gouda-style cheese made in County Cork, following the recipes of the Dutch family who settled there. Aged, it is firm and slightly crystalline, with a sweet, nutty, caramel flavour. One of the finest Gouda-style cheeses made outside the Netherlands.
