Thunder Oak Gouda
Pasteurized cow milk
Thunder Oak Cheese Farm
(farmstead)

After emigrating from Holland, the Schepp family brought their prize winning cheese making skills with them to Thunder Bay, where their thriving enterprise now produces Canada’s only farmstead gouda. At every stage from several months to several years of age, Thunder Oak Gouda expresses appealing, complex flavours, and maintains an unusually rich texture. Young cheeses are fruity, tangy and silky smooth, while older wheels become spicy, caramel sweet and toasty, with a crystalline texture. Follow Dutch tradition and serve Gouda at every meal, saving the most venerable cheeses for after dinner.
