Review - Netherlands Landana Brand 1000 Days Aged Gouda

Went to a brand new mega US Kroger chain grocery store near us here in Houston 2 days ago. Naturally walked past the cheese area, and a presentation saying 1000 days aged cheese naturally caught my eye
!
What was even better was when I turned around there was a fresh free samples container. I will admit I made 3 circles past it and must of eaten 15 cubes with 15 different toothpicks before stopping
!
In summary, wonderful:
Very hard but not grating hard.
Very very tasty Gouda cheese like Rembrandt brand, except with more zing.
probably the oldest age cheese I have ever eaten!
Little internet research:
The wheel had no brand name, Tage is German, Dagen is Dutch and Jours is French for English Days.
The small sign above the sample container said Landana Brand, which is made by
Vandersterre Group
in the Netherlands.
Their website says they make a Gouda aged 10 months but doesn't mention their 1000 day version.
Wheel wrapping was different almost plastic paper like, found
another picture here
.Don't know exactly what it is.
Luckily had camera so took some pictures . . .

That almost looks like a parmesan. Thanks for the pic CH.
Oh, did you think that it was worth aging for 1000 days?

Definately, but of course I would never manage that as I'd eat well before

It looks extremely dry for a gouda. Of course something our size would be that dry in half that time.

I bought a tiny slice of a 4 year old gouda yesterday. It's absolutely AMAZING! The flavor is complex: nutty, salty, fruity. It's like fine wine. I've been desartely trying to find the company name on my slice, but no luck.

One of the reasons I always split my cheese batch into two cheeses is for aging. One I can eat now and the other I can age to perfection. Nice to compare as well.

Tropit, I haven't heard of that one. Another very popular aged Gouda is Rembrandt brand, if you search this forum on Rembrandt you should get a few hits and a couple pictures.

I have a Best Cheese Corp out of New York - Vintage Aged Gouda that was 3 years old when I bought it... It came from Sam's Warehouse in a huge wheel.
Still have a little left and is probably knocking on 5 years old now. Very dry, very hard, very tasty.
