A Gouda cheese has a higher fat content than edam, but is made in much the same way and has a similar flavour. Like Edam, it is pale yellow inside, has a smooth and elastic texture, and a mild, salty flavour which is sometimes varied by the addition of cumin. The manufacture of Gouda is now widespread, but the best cheeses are still those made by farmers in the vicinity of Gouda. These may be distinguished by appellations such as Boeren Gouda or plain boerenkaas (which just means farmer’s cheese, but is usually Gouda).
