NewYork Perfect Cheese

 

The ultimate decadent Japanese Sweets: the combination of melt-in-your-mouth cookie biscuit, silky cream and slightly salty Gouda cheese with nutty goodness. It will impress on first bite. But it is very delicate, so handle with care and store in the fridge upon receipt. Let it warm up to room temperature to unlock the flavours before savouring.

Dairyworks Gouda Cheese

After trying natural cheeses, I have, apparently, develop a liking for it, I could not resist strolling over to the cheese section in Cold Storage to take a peek at the great selection of natural cheeses.

Dairyworks' packaging looks too attractive to be ignored, and I end up grabbing a pack of Gouda Cheese since I miss the slightly stretchy quality of this kind of cheese—think the texture of Mozzarella Cheese, but Gouda has stronger nutty flavour.

It tastes great either straight from fridge or melted on warm toast.

Emborg Gouda/Havarti Cheese

Gouda Cheese is milder in flavour as compared to Emmental. So it is the kind of cheese suitable for everyone's taste. But this still has that bit of bitterness, almost undetectable, to give character and complexity to this cheese's taste profile. And besides using it for sandwich, I also like its melted texture, which has an iota of stretchy quality, when I put one on top of piping hot French Toast.

Havarti cheese somewhat similar to Gouda in term of mildness, but its texture is that of classic cheese. Great for cold sandwiches.

And this is made with 100% natural ingredients. Yes, the usual suspects of milk, salt, lactic acid and rennet.
