Brabander Reserve Goat Gouda

About this item

Brabander Reserve (formerly known as Black Betty) is a holiday seasonal exclusive from Fromagerie L'Amuse and Essex Street Cheese!

It starts with L'Amuse Brabander, a young goat's milk gouda from the Brabant region of Southern Holland. This gouda is usually sold young (6-9 months), as the flavor and texture don't do well with longer age times. 

But for a short period in late spring, the milk conditions are exactly right. Wheels made in this part of the year can be pushed to 18 months, reaching new heights of caramelly goodness. Brabander Reserve hits full maturity between November and December, and is beloved by cheese enthusiasts as a sign of the holiday season.

Its not here for a long time, so snack while you can!
