Artikaas Debuts Sliced Aged Gouda Plus Two New Sliced Varieties; Steve Margarites Comments

Artikaas, imported exclusively by Dutch Cheese Makers, proudly debuts the first 18- month aged sliced Gouda available in the U.S. Crafted using its award-winning Vintage Lot 18, Artikaas’ new Sliced Aged Gouda brings rich, nutty, caramelized flavor and a crystalline texture to the grab-and-go cheese aisle.

Aged sliced Gouda has long been a staple in Dutch kitchens, and Artikaas is proud to bring that tradition stateside with a level of maturity and flavor that hasn’t been offered in the U.S. until now.

This launch also expands the brand’s sliced cheese lineup with two additional varieties: Sliced Gouda and Sliced Goat Gouda, rounding out a full range that already includes Smoked Gouda, Smoked Goat Gouda, and Smoked Jalapeño Gouda. All six SKUs are offered in a 10-slice, 7oz package ideal for grab-and-go convenience or elevated sandwich builds.

“Our sliced line was designed for consumers who love high-quality cheese but want the convenience of ready-to-use formats,” said Steve Margarites, President and CEO of Dutch Cheese Makers, in a recent press release. “With the addition of our classic, goat, and aged Goudas, we’re giving people even more ways to enjoy the premium authentic Dutch flavor Artikaas is known for.”

• Gouda Cheese Slices - As traditional as it gets, our young Gouda is creamy with a smooth, semi-firm texture. A savory, satisfying Gouda that is the perfect melty companion for a grilled cheese.
• Goat Gouda Slices - Milder and sweeter than you expect, this 100% goat’s milk Gouda has a delicate, citrus ‘tang’ and firm yet creamy texture. It’s delicious on a burger or a sandwich with prosciutto, arugula, and fig jam.
• Aged Gouda Slices - Complex flavors develop slowly as this cheese matures for a year and a half in our state-of-the-art aging facility. A firm texture with crystallization, notes of toasted walnuts, and a brown-butter finish. This will surely level up any handheld recipe.

Artikaas continues to blend tradition with innovation, offering authentic Dutch cheeses in formats that meet the needs of today’s consumers, without compromising on quality or flavor.
