Looking to shock your guests in the best way possible? Enter Dilano Black Lemon Gouda. This cheese looks like a piece of polished charcoal but tastes like a refreshing summer breeze. It is a Dutch Gouda infused with lemon and charcoal, resulting in a striking, jet-black paste that provides a massive visual "wow" factor. But don't let the goth aesthetic fool you—it’s actually quite cheerful! The activated charcoal gives it its moody color, while the lemon juice and zest provide a bright, citrusy "pop" that cuts through the creamy richness of the Gouda. It is the most unique gourmet cheese in the deli case, practically begging to be photographed for social media. It’s a conversation-starting cheese that proves you don’t have to take "fine dining" too seriously. When you place a wedge of this on a board, you aren't just serving snacks; you're providing an edible magic trick. The Recipes Recipe #1: "Midnight" Seafood Pasta For a stunning dinner party dish, toss squid ink pasta with shrimp, garlic, and a heavy dusting of shredded Black Lemon Gouda. The citrus-infused cheese acts as a built-in seasoning, eliminating the need for extra lemon wedges. This visually dramatic pasta recipe is a guaranteed hit for a "black-tie" themed dinner with friends. Recipe #2: Black Lemon Gouda Grilled Cheese Use white sourdough bread to contrast with the jet-black cheese for a "checkerboard" grilled cheese. The lemon notes make this the most refreshing grilled cheese sandwich you’ve ever had. Serve it with a bowl of tomato soup for a fun, modern twist on a childhood favorite. The Appetizers Appetizer #1: The "Eclipse" Board Pair thin slices of Black Lemon Gouda with bright white cheeses (like goat cheese) and red fruits. The black and white cheese pairing is an elegant, modern look for a New Year's Eve party or a gallery opening. Appetizer #2: Black Lemon & Smoked Salmon Canapés Place a small shaving of the lemon Gouda on a cucumber round with a ribbon of smoked salmon. The charcoal adds a subtle earthiness while the lemon brightens the fish, making it a sophisticated seafood appetizer. Size: 10 Lbs Approx. Origin: Product of The Netherlands.
