4 Year Aged Gouda

I wandered into one of our local cheese shops after the farmer's market this morning (my most favorite Saturday morning routine) and my eyes went directly to the in-process cutting of their most aged Gouda wheel.  Sold.
The older the Gouda gets, the more complex the flavor profile.  This 4 year aged has a mild nutty flavor one moment, and a caramel sweetness in the next.  It really is like cheese-candy.  Usually I'll just have it on it's own (no bread, no accompaniments.)  It's a great addition to any cheese board and always on mine.
