Rotterdamsche Oude would be translated into the old cheese of Rotterdam, similar in name to the Old Amsterdam - another fine Dutch gourmet cheese.
Rotterdamsche Oude is a Dutch Gouda type cheese with a special character. The gourmet cheese is made of milk from the North-Western part of The Netherlands.
You will taste that the special recipe of this cheese sets it apart from the many other Dutch Gouda cheeses. The degree of maturation of the Rotterdamsche Oude is not determined by time but by taste and consistency. This gourmet cheese has an aromatic but creamy character that suggests an age of at least a year for another typically Gouda cheese. Rotterdamsche Oude can be sliced easily and would complete a cheese board.
Since 1998, Rotterdamsche Oude has been proudly qualified as a B.O.B cheese, which is the Dutch equivalent of the French designation A.O.C. and one taste, one nibble of this fine aged Gouda will immediately remind you that this is indeed a Dutch gourmet cheese.
