How Dutch Gouda Is Made At A 100-Year-Old Family Farm | Regional Eats | Insider Food

- Every year, 650 million kilos of Gouda cheese is produced in the Netherlands. Most of it is produced industrially, using pasteurized milk, but there are 280 farmers across the country still making raw-milk boerenkaas, or farmer's cheese. And there are only two farms that take their cheese to the next level, making Boeren Goudse Oplegkaas, or aged artisanal Gouda, a special type of raw-milk farmhouse cheese that must weigh at least 20 kilograms, must age at least two years, and can be made only in the summer with cattle grazing in the Green Heart region, between the cities of Amsterdam, Rotterdam, and Utrecht.
We met with cheesemaker Marije Van der Poel, who lives on an island in the village of Rijpwetering in South Holland with her husband, Hugo, and their three children and makes 15 wheels of aged artisanal Gouda every day at the back of their house.

How Dutch Gouda Is Made At A 100-Year-Old Family Farm | Regional Eats | Insider Food
When I was 8 years old, I begged my parents for a cheese wheel for Christmas. I got a bicycle and I cried for hours
I give my kids the weird stuff they want. My relatives ask me for ideas. This Christmas, TWO desperately wanted book holders. (??????) They got them and were thrilled.
Lol
Lol
You'll probably have to wait another year until everything has opened up again, but lots of cheese farms also offer workshops. So you can make your own tiny cheese wheel (if you secretly still have the dream of having a whole wheel to yourself)
A bicycle is actually pretty nice
She sounds like your friend who is trying to explain to you their hobby, and you don't know 100% of what they are saying, but you are happy because it makes them happy.
Thats such a wholesome way to put it
@@ujeifk55 definitely
I'd be happier for her if she could say gouda right.
Haaaaa please 🙏🙏🙏
Hhhhh exactly lol
I'm dutch, after seeing this video I looked up where they sell it (I love a good Gouda cheese but this is on another level). Turns out they sell this exact cheese from this family in a store within 10 minutes of my house. I'm so happy
Send me some. I'll pay!
Was it really really amazing?? I'd pay too!!
@@tommylee3812 I haven’t gotten around to trying it yet (I know..) but once I have, I will definitely update you all!
@@hemes5en did you try it? and how much does it cost for 1 kilogram of cheese?
@@hemes5en we need update!
I just love how she emphasizes that their processes and cheeses are "special" and I love her for this. She really explained from her heart despite language difficulties.
she spoke English better than most native speakers LOL
She completely just made my day when she said “old.. Er, I mean “aged” cheese.”
Somebody please help. This woman is too good for all of us.
Oude kaas = aged cheese, but "oude" translates to "old"
Interesting! Thanks for letting me know.
I’ll buy her cheese just because of that!
@@starshot5172 Dakuje!
I loved that part and was looking for this comment 😂😁
i really respect this lady for trying to explain the process in english to us! this isnt her first language and yet she's still very understandable.
@@Man14700 but consider the age though... ngl. A lot of people who are in their late 30’s and so forth have harsh accents and sometimes have a different way of expressing their words than todays Millennials and Gen Z, who have easily learned the language through the bigger Western (American)media exposure in the 90’s.
PS. Mijn vader en moeder spreken moeilijk engels maar Turks was ook hun eerste taal, NL 2e en Engels soort van hun 3e
also Dutch is probably the closest language to English in the world
@@gsofficial not at all, most dutch people just know how to speak English because we hear it since we were born
@@winstonvoetbal1458 I cannot comment on whether that's true, but, it is the closest major language to English. Though technically Frisian is closer.
Actually 90% of the Dutch population speak English fluently. I used to live in Groningen in the Netherlands which is a small city, and never came across anybody that didn’t speak English.
They’re all taught it from primary school :)
"she learn me how to make cheese".
Much respect for this lady.
No joke, I come back to re-watch this every few months because of how wonderful the lady making it is. She sounds so happy and so excited that it makes me feel light and airy. I love this show in general, don't get me wrong, but I love learning about Gouda from Marije the most!
I love how proud she is of her product :)
I love how she speaks English
"It is special."
Luv how da cheese
@Billionaire Of The Gates she is dutch
Duhh, obviously she's proud she worked hard for it.
_"We are good in making cheese and he is good in aging cheese."_
Simple but precise way of putting it 💛
and I'd say "I'm good in gulping down cheese"
@@gigizack saem
@@gigizack you want some warm thick milk
My creamy cheese
@@bluesap7318 no, but the offer is appreciated ! !
@@gigizack me too
I love how Maria's eyes twinkle and her smile when she talk about her cheese and how she makes it 😍
When I was 15 I visited Holland with my football/soccer team for a tournament and we did a cheese tour and saw how they made the Gouda. I’m Mexican American so I brought a bunch of it back home with me and use it to make quesadillas! This was in 2005 and those were still the best quesadillas I’ve ever made lol
"it's real special" I like how she gets kind of giddy when she says that
I read this as she said it
Giddy about putting dead baby cow stomach in the milk she stole from them. I so look forward to the day when every dairy farm and cheese maker accepts you don’t need cow breast milk to make cheese.
@@BNJ24 what the hell are you doing here. Weirdo, go fill your hard drive with stuff that doesn’t irritate you morally
@@andrewradomsky6203 Never. As long as torture for your palate is taking place, I’ll translate for the mothers and their babies.
@@BNJ24 What!? How un-realavant is that.. i understand your message.. but Why here?
I really respect the wife when she married to her husband then joined, being a part of his family's traditional fam and also continuing his family's legacy. And now she is our instructor for the Gouda cheese.
yes cheese is a great way of life czcams.com/video/EnhvPClW7zs/video.html
Mannn i absolutely love those people
@Saluki N Well said. That's why I refuse to marry. I live in the most isolated city in the world, theres no good men to choose from here. Better to be on your own here, you can live however you want without having to ask for permission.
F
@Carlos Vijewaar Perth, Australia. It's amazing! I live down south near farms so its even more isolated. You can't see a single house as far as the eye can see!
I really enjoy her enthusiasm in telling her story and explanation of how she and her husband make the cheese.
In 1963, we moved to Europe from the states. Living in Heidelberg, during spring break in March, we drove up to the Netherlands. One of the lovely places we stopped was a private cheese making firm in Gouda. We brought a big huge wheel of Gouda to back to Germany with us. It was fantastically wonderful. We had cheese for breakfast lunch and dinner. A large slab of cheese between two pieces of German bread with a little butter, out of this world. One of my favorite memories.
as a Dutchy who lives closed to Germany I can agree German bread with Dutch cheese is peak breakfast lunch and even dinner if you're feeling lazy
As a dutch person I can confirm that this woman tries to express so much more about her product than she does in English.
I would rather have heard her talk about the process and history of making cheese in Dutch and subbed for u guys
EDIT: I’m NOT disrespecting her English at all. It’s great to see someone explain themselves so well in a different language. I’m just saying I would’ve preferred her talking Dutch instead because she would be able to go way more in depth about everything in Dutch lmao
Haar engels is glad nie te sleg nie
Plus, Dutch is quite a lovely language. I dont speak it but my dad does, and I find it oddly soothing. It's a playful language, if that makes any sense.
Ngl we should do a tour and buy some of her cheese uwu 👌 but I'm lactose intolerant but would risk 20 restroom breaks for this cheese
Shut up, she did good
@@downo sHuT uP sHe diD gOoD
honestly one of the few reporters ive seen actually putting in an effort to pronounce dutch names correctly, respect
Because she is dutch
@@adamkinsten9231 the reporter, not the one who is getting reported
@@adamkinsten9231 the reporter is italian, the gouda maker is of course dutch
A really small effort: she butchered the cheese name thinking Dutch is some kind of German.
@@juvesidc5960 Which it kind of is, no need to cope for something so basic. Dutch is a germanic language.
I love how proud she was when she was talking about her husband's family and their own family carrying the tradition.
I understood every single word she said and HONESTLY? I loved every single second i listened to her explain the process with such love and enthusiasm ♥
gouda: exists
this lady: "that's real special"
*face palms self* now you got me counting how many times shes saying it lol
Oh my god shut up
MET∆TRON I was looking for this comment lol
Having had both industrially made Gouda cheese and this artisan Boerse Gouda cheese, I can assure you that it definitely is real special. The industrial cheese doesn’t hold a candle to this good stuff.
It's probably just her limited English
Now I’m curious what a 100 year old aged Gouda would taste like
Oh I am sure it will taste Goud a.
You can go find out in a Cheese bank
i've tried some 4 year old gouda, also from a local farmer here in the netherlands and it taste quite like parmiggiano, not entirely the same but in the same region of flavour.
It would be quite salty and crumbly, trust me.
@@Kimdah_ yum
Making ageing cheese is an art. Only few families of Holland know it . Very interesting.
Hollands great
What are you on about? Every Dairy farmer knows HOW to do it, but it's more economic to just deliver the milk and let the cheese making over to specialized companies these days. But even as far as the 1950's Farmers were making their own cheese.
"Real life is the real gym."
Best truth ever spoken.
👍
5:06 so square does fit into circle? Kindergarten was a lie
Aron Kovacs a square can always fit in a circle as long as its area is lesser than that of the circle..

The interesting thing about the wooden press molds is that scientists found out that the bacteria developing in the wood actually reduce the growing bad bacteria. Just like in our guts. Of course if you take care of the wood or your guts. Beautiful :)
Source is from another video where it's talked about the raw cheese making of old nun.
Old nun???
This is why wood cutting boards are more hygienic than plastic
And wooden utensils
And wooden salad bowls
None need soap, just hot water and make sure all food matter is scraped off.
Marije van der Poel's charm and joy for what she does, is simply contagious.
What a sweet lady and her accent is so adorable. I really appreciate her enthusiasm in trying to explain all the intricacies that go in the making of her product.
When last I looked upon so many cheese wheels, I was in a farm in skyrim.
And I stole them all
@@DrawsomeDrawer same 😁

Haha same

That's the dream!
After 46 years I am proud of what I do.

I once visited a farm in the Netherlands, that made its own cheese. It was the best cheese I've ever tasted. I liked it more than the cheeses I got on my trip to Switzerland.
Its always great to see someone that has such pride in their work.
"It keep the warm inside." She's so adorable, I can't 😭😭😭 I love this so much
I feel like she’s trying so hard to translate to English
Edit since people keep saying it: I don’t mean this in a rude way. I appreciate her effort because I know how hard English can be to some people
And we very much appreciate her for it
It’s hard for us to speak English because the English letters sound different from dutch letters y’all finds it hard to say the gggggg or schhhh and thats easy for us 😂

Bruv can you translate what is hello from dutch??
@@JAndre-gb3dm Hallo or Goedendag

This couple, their cheese house and family story, is so completely charming, I would pay them just for this even if it was ordinary cheese. But this is cheese like nothing else! And so I am utterly astounded. Thank you so much for sharing Claudia!
As a German I could NOT live without Dutch cheese and Dutch Hagelslag. Glad that in North-Germany we have several Dutch cheese sellers... :)
It makes me really happy to see how proud she is of their cheese

Those wooden molds are to die for!
Thanks to all who participated in this very pleasurable video.
That pause at "whey away" was beautiful
honestly props to the dutch woman speaking English, I heard she was struggling a bit but she still did her best.
And for the non dutch woman, she did her best too and we appreciate it even tho it isn't always accurate xD
as a dutch person it means a lot that you have such respect❤️ some people like her have a lot more trouble speaking english but u can really see she’s trying. i hate ppl making fun of bilingual people/ people trying to learn a new language
@@daphnejager5641 I could barely tell if she was struggling at all. Her cadence was pleasing. Most of the time it's charming listening to non-native speakers speaking English because it's fun and interesting. It's like working with someone in a uniform but then one day you see them dressed casually and it's like they're a whole different person
as a fellow dutch man, i can hear the dutch accent when she speaks english
Verschrikkelijk maar aandoenlijk tegelijk.
Ai spiek ferry goed inchlish
ja, ik hoor het ook.
@Joe H I know, right? I was like "Umm, so can I and I speak English!"
Brring salt
Amazing! The pride she has for her cheesmaking shows on her face..wonderful craft.
This lady who keeps saying everything is Special, I wonder if she knows how special she is. She’s the one who puts love and energy into making the cheese but She compliments everything but herself, I hope people tell her how special she is.
She cute lmao like she seems so excited to talk about how she makes her cheese and how special it is, it's actually cute like a puppy or a baby seal
You sound patronizing
How is she cute for that reason🤷🏽♂️🖕🏽
Bruh you creep me out get lost
A baby seal is called a puppy
all holland girls are like that..
That lady is living her best life! Listening to her speak with pride about what she and her husband does each day is beautiful. Her excitement and her joy is palpable. I bet it's damn good cheese!
She is just so wholesome. Heartwarming and adorable at the same time.
she is the cuttest person i've ever seen, everything from the way she explains the process so happily, to her body language just made me so happy, i have never loved cheese so much before
I'm severely lactose intolerant, but can't stop watching, because the process is just fascinating.
Have you tried simply toleranting lactose?
There is close to no lactose in cheese
@@kahntheman962 tell that to my stomach

My heart is so warm watching there beautiful, amazing, and happy people doing what they're doing!
I have one word for this video.... “special” haha I love this woman!
The color of the cheese rolls in that market. Gorgeous.
She talks like my great-grandfather. He only came to the US in 1953, after fighting in the Dutch Resistance. He spoke English just like this. Even so much as confusing "learn" with "taught," just like Marije. It brings back so many memories.
I would let this woman be my mother, she is so wholesome
Never knew that Gouda had sole cheese market rights back in the old days, and i have lived here all my life. Learn something new every day i guess
I love how that lady was so ethusasic about cheese making warms my heart💕
It's real special
To make cheese you must exploit and kill cows. This shouldn't warm anyones heart.

This is one of my favorite cheeses! I broke many wheels of aged boerenkaas as a cheese monger so it was such a delight to see this extraordinary artisan doing the same with her own cheese. I could almost taste the crystals
Please adopt me and take me to the Netherlands

Parents: You have to study hard, so you don't become a farmer
The farmer:
@Pup Pyz depends. Lots of farmer I know only have a high school deg. They mostly learn via experience
Farmers in more developed countries actually require a lot of specialization and knowledge in new technology :) it's very interesting
Farms can be quite lucrative if you know how to do business.
I am pretty sure the original comment was showing how you usually “study hard” to not end in a unprofessional job, but this video shows the hard work and dedication behind being a farmer
Sad thing is, farmers are highly intelligent and are NECESSARY. Shame on all parents who say this stuff to their kids! Serious stuff to the side, this is a good joke and you should have a good day. ^-^

Because "to learn" and "to teach" are the same word in Dutch
Its interesting how you notice the difference in correct / incorrect English as you are a "native" speaker , but we often naught take into account where the English language derives from. So our ego tends to separate our hierarchies as to what is correct or incorrect so we patronize the other with a sense of total correctness, vice versa as well. Words are spells, which brings you to magik
@@strawman3070 Agree with your point, a language is part of a culture yet it tend to be more inter-connected with other languages through migration of people. BTW English is my second language while Dutch is my fourth. It's interesting to pick up those details during language learning.

I like their accent, it's cute
Every time she says 'special', you can tell she's trying to describe how grand and important this is to her, but she doesn't know other words for it.
I think she should've just spoken in Dutch, and then put subtitles for her.
