Castello Aged Gouda

Castello Aged Gouda is a hard cheese that will crumble under your knife if it is not sharp enough. It has a strong flavor that lends itself to salads and Hors D'oeuvre but don't try to slice this for your sandwich.

I also noted that large chunks broke off as I grated this but what I was cooking was not meant for fine cheese.

I don't believe I detected the nutty flavor advertised for this product, but there was a strong cheese flavor, and as it never specified what kind of nuts I guess they could be cheesy.  

If cheese with a robust flavor is your thing this is good cheese. I'm not all that much of a cheese snob, but I have to admit this appears to be a high quality product.
