From Gouda to the world: Cheese without borders

Mexican quesadillas with Gouda cheese

Fancy comfort food with a crunchy bite? Try a quesadilla with melted Gouda cheese, black beans and peppers. The cheese melts wonderfully and adds a soft, nutty flavour that goes perfectly with spicy Mexican flavours.

Tip: Serve with a fresh salsa and a dollop of crème fraîche and you'll feel like you're under the sun in Mexico.

Italian lasagne with a golden edge

Traditional lasagne is often made with mozzarella or Parmesan, but try young, grated Gouda cheese in the sauce and between the layers. The cheese melts evenly and gives your dish an extra creamy texture. Add some basil and... mamma mia!

Perfect for: A Dutch Sunday with an Italian touch.

Indian curry with Gouda "paneer"

In India, paneer is a common cheese in vegetarian curries. Replace it with cubes of young mature Gouda cheese. Quickly grill or fry it and add it to a spicy tomato curry. The result is a deliciously creamy twist on a classic dish. But beware: of course Gouda cheese does melt, so after this delicious meal you will have to do a bit more cleaning up...

Delicious with: Naan bread or fragrant basmati rice.
