This isn't just a "bacon-flavored" cheese; it’s a smoky, meaty, salt-kissed masterpiece. Because it’s a quarter wheel, you’re getting a significant wedge that showcases the beautiful distribution of bacon throughout the creamy paste. It’s the best savory Gouda for the host who knows that bacon makes everything better. It’s a "dude-approved" cheese that still wins over the most sophisticated palates because of Marieke’s impeccable raw-milk base. Serving this is a guaranteed way to make your kitchen smell like a gourmet smokehouse.
