Oudelandse Sublime is a 36-month-aged Boerenkaas Gouda. With this extended aging period, the cheese develops a deep, robust flavor that's both complex and intense. The texture becomes crumbly and firm, and the taste is marked by rich, nutty, and caramel-like undertones. Its distinctive flavor is the result of traditional farmhouse production techniques and raw milk, making it a prized specialty among cheese enthusiasts.

Boerenkaas Gouda is a traditional Dutch farmhouse cheese. Here's a breakdown:

1. Farmhouse Production: It's made directly on the farm (often called 'boeren' in Dutch) in small batches, using traditional methods passed down through generations.

2. Gouda Style: It follows the general Gouda cheese-making process but with variations that give it a unique taste and texture. It typically has a creamy, rich flavor with nutty undertones that become stronger as it ages.

3. Aging Process: It can be aged from several weeks up to two years. Young Boerenkaas Gouda is mild and creamy, while older versions are more robust, developing a complex, sharp flavor and a firmer texture.
