Frisian Farm Gouda is a locally made favorite! This cumin gouda is the classic dutch gouda with cumin seeds and aged 12-18 months for that tradition inspiring all the generations enjoy. Approximately 6oz. per package.
How big is this portion of cheese? weight?
These wedges are approximately 6oz each.
Would this cheese (Gouda with cumin) be considered "Leyden"?
So, to be true "Leyden" cheese, that means it would be produced in the Leiden area of the Netherlands. Spiced Leyden or Leyden cheese also references a gouda cheese made with cumin seeds. This version is made locally to Pella, based on an old-world gouda practice and has the cumin seeds as part of this recipe. So, it's up for interpretation, honestly. I had been carrying the traditional leyden for years until the supplier that was importing it decided to stop doing so. I am offering this as an option and also have recently found an imported version to have available in store that we are testing for approval by customers.
