Époisses de Bourgogne is my favorite. My wife and I drove thru Époisse last month on our way from Chablis... stopped in the Époisse cheese shop and asked for some cheese and she asked when we would be having it, because there is various stages of 'ripeness', we had it pool side that night. Wow... excellent. And at $6 for the round, a great value.

We love Epoisses, but the $6 round is $20 here.
Just one more sip.

g-man, you're right! If the market puts their label on the back of the package over the factory label, peel back the top label to see the factory recommended date.
Just one more sip.

Aren't aged Goudas great? So dense, nutty, and butterscotch tasting, I love them! They pair very well with an aged tawny.

Agreed. I didn't try any aged Gouda until I read about them here because regular Gouda is so boring.
Just one more sip.

Do beware though. After about three years they don't necessarily get better. It's a bit hit and miss then. I once talked with a cheese merchant about a batch of 5 year old Gouda he had on offer. He told me he never meant to keep the cheese for this long, but he sort of forgot about them. He had to throw away every other cheese because it was just over the hill, but the other half was great.

why was the cheese merchant aging it and not the cheese maker ?

He wasn't. He bought them 'overaged' as it is called in Holland (about 3 years of age) but they got lost somewhere. But apart from that, both are possible. There are cheese merchants who sell immediately after they get stuff shipped in, but others specialise in ageing as well.

Please comment on the Trugole. Also, if you don't mind, where did you get it ? I had it once at a local restaurant here in S. Fla and thought it was a top cheese. Have been trying to purchase it to no avail. Was wondering if it is truly worth seeking out via shipping in.
