The aroma and flavor are pleasantly smokey, reminiscent of a barbecue. The cheese is semi-soft to cut and creamy in the mouth. The smoke flavor is a nice contrast to the texture of the cheese. For $4.99 a pound this is a nicely flavored smoked cheese from Holland. If you’re in need of a smoked cheese and in or nearby a Trader Joe’s, this is a good and surprisingly economical choice.

I like this cheese, too (am eating some as I write this, in fact). I’m curious why they seem to strategically AVOID calling it “Smoked Gouda”, though… They instead choose the rather generic “Dutch Smoked Cheese”… They do have a SLICED Smoked Gouda that they sell, which is labeled as such, but it tastes nothing like this. That’s how I ended up here: by doing a search, to see if I could find any info to answer this question. At the end of the day, it tastes good, and I guess that’s all that matters, but I’d still be interested in finding out

According to the ingredient label, it’s Maasdam cheese which is a Swiss-style cheese. Gouda is made differently. It’s still good regardless. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maasdam_cheese

Hope you find it. I’m still looking for the bacon cheddar here. Maybe I’ll ask next time. 😉

If TJs wasnt always so crowded it would be so much easier to discover some of the hidden gems in the cheese section. The triple creme brie is on point if you want an easier to find item.
