Gouda has been around since at least the 13th century, and it remains one of the most popular cheeses in the world.

But producers are still finding new ways to add variety to their gouda lineups, and retailers continue to tap into the power of this sweet, creamy variety to lure shoppers to their specialty cheese cases.

Emmi Roth offers a wide variety of gouda for sale in grocery specialty cheese cases, including Original, Smoked, Aged, Spinach Artichoke, Buffalo Ranch and Hot Honey.

Hot Honey won a Silver Medal at the 2023 United States Championship Cheese Contest.

Three of those new flavors were added in 2021, a sign of the category’s robust health, said Brittany Fladeboe, Emmi Roth branded product manager.
