Product Description
We experienced a moment of culinary divinity when we first sampled this double-aged Gouda. Previously, we doubted that any cheese could be more flavorful than Beemster's 18-month Aged Gouda, but their X.O. indeed sets a new bar. With this 26-month gouda, we first noticed its delicate, brittle texture. After we tasted it, the flavor of butterscotch permeated the palate, followed by alternating waves of whiskey and pecan.- Made from pasteurized cow's milk.

Smells like feet, tastes like heaven March 4, 2008

My girlfriend loves aged gouda and I'm a fan too. I bought this as part of her Valentine's Day present, but I think I eat just as much of it as she does. She thanks me profusely every time she breaks it out and has some (so long as she doesn't notice I've been nibbling). It is so rich and flavorful that if you like gouda at all, you owe it to yourself to try this at least once.
P.S. The [...] service was excellent as well, truly a pleasure!

The X.O is actually a 26 month aged hard Gouda, iGourmet might have extended it another 10 months. The color of this cheese is by far one of the best attributes. A dark bold orange with slight white between it and the rind to present itself amazingly well on any cheese plate. OK for grating to provide a nice color contrast, or just cut a wedge and leave it in a window for a quality display. Also available are 16 month aged Beemster cheese which is not quite as sharp, nor as deep an orange color.
