Castello Smoked Cracked Pepper Gouda is our traditional Gouda with the peppery spice of cracked peppercorn, and then smoked in a real smokehouse over slow-burning hickory wood. This award winning cheese is the perfect blend of naturally smoked flavor with an added dimension of pepper gives our traditionally mild-mannered Gouda the perfect flavor to enjoy as the centerpiece on a cheeseboard, melted in mac cheese or grated and melted over a brunch quiche.
