Mekkerstee Extra Belegen "Goat Gouda"

Nutty, caramelised and gently tangy — a mature organic goat Gouda with a fine crystalline crunch.

Mekkerstee Extra Belegen is made in Ouddorp in the Netherlands from pasteurised organic goat’s milk and aged for at least a year. It combines classic mature Gouda sweetness with the brighter freshness of goat’s milk.

Toasted hazelnut, caramel and butterscotch sit alongside a clean goat’s-milk tang. Natural crystals add a little crunch.

Serve in small chunks, melt into gratins or toasted sandwiches, or pair with figs and walnuts.

Dry Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir or Beaujolais all work well.

Fresh goat’s-milk acidity loves restrained sweetness and something crisp alongside it.
