Frisian Farms Gouda
$9.99**Festival Feature!** Frisian Farms is a small dairy farm located in the prairie heartland of southeastern Iowa. It's owned and operated by two brothers who come from a long line of dairy farmers originating from the Friesland province in Holland. Jason and Mike Bandstra make cheese from the milk of their own herd of Holstein cows. The dairy was founded by Jason 6 years ago with Mike joining later in the operation after working for Horizon Milk in Maryland. The Gouda is complex with a rustic feel of a traditional Dutch Gouda. Fruity in the attack, rounded out with green almonds and finishing with a piquant saltiness reminiscent of its alpine cousins. Learn More -
Marieke Gouda
$9.99**Festival Feature!** Marieke Penterman is a native of Holland who moved to Wisconsin with her young family as a dairy farmer and soon began making cheese. Her namesake cheese, a semi-soft, creamy farmstead Gouda, is aged four to six months and made in a traditional “boerenkase” Dutch method with cultures and equipment imported from her native country. The milk, however, comes fresh from her dedicated herd at the family farm in Northern Wisconsin. Learn More
