The sign on this cheese said: Gouda Aged 4 years. Four years, I thought, wow. I got some but it was really expensive. And it's a wierd color too. Like a dark amber. It sort of looks like mimolette in coloration.
Any one who knows about old gouda knows about the mysterious cheese crystals, well this one was almot crunchy. Like rice crispy square crunchy. And extremely brittle, like chalk.
The taste is like WOW. IT is way out there man. Like way out there. It doesn't really taste like any other cheese experience I have had (ok maybe faintly like Parm).
Anne, the obvious solution to your year old fridge refuse is to just leave it in there for another three years.
everything bad for you will have been killed off by then surely.
