Faribault, MN – Caves of Faribault is proud to re-introduce its St. Mary’s Grass Fed Gouda, a Wisconsin Gouda hand-crafted by Master Cheesemaker Bruce Workman of Edelweiss Creamery. Made in Wisconsin, this Gouda is then aged in historic sandstone caves by the affineurs of Caves of Faribault. The cheese responds beautifully to cave-aging, developing a smooth buttery sharpness with a definite hint of caramel. Wheels of this 2009 vintage have a natural, rustic rind different from the wax rind of the previous 2007 classic. This aromatic rind will continue to mature within the wrapping. The rind is edible and suited best for those who prefer a stronger flavor profile.
Released in early January, St. Mary’s Gouda will be available through select distributors and retailers nationwide in 11 lb. RWT wheels and 8 oz. EWT wedges.
