Get it in 2-5 business days or choose expedited shipping at checkout.We're thrilled to bring you this gem of Wisconsin cheese: Marieke Reserve Gouda, a rich, aged, wonder made by master cheesemaker Marieke Penterman at her farmstead creamery in Thorp, Wisconsin.
Marieke grew up on a dairy farm in the Netherlands and brought her love for quality dairy products when she moved to Wisconsin with her now business partner, Rolf, and established a dairy farm in Thorp. There she embarked on a quest to become a licensed cheesemaker. In 2024, she earned the coveted Wisconsin Master Cheesemaker certification. Notably, she is only the fourth woman to earn this highly respected title.
This reserve Gouda, aged at Marieke's creamery over 1,000 days, is a testament to her skill and dedication.Try it with dried fruits and nuts, a glass of Chardonnay, and good company.

It guides everything we do. We believe in its power to foster good will among all, and we strive to prove it every day in our relationships with our customers, partners, team members, and community. Our mission is simple…build a new type of cheese company bonded by the brotherhood of cheese.
Our cheese is made the same way since Eric’s Great Grandpa Fred came here from Switzerland in 1919 (though with a bit more fancy equipment). The milk comes in, cheese makers add the cultures, curd is formed, any seasonings are added, cheese is pressed into blocks and allowed to cure, usually for several months (or sometimes years for aged varieties). The cheese is then cut and wrapped, labeled, and shipped to your door.
None of our products are ever processed or artificial in any way. Just good, old fashioned Wisconsin cheese. Milk is sourced from local family farms who care. Seasonings are always natural and simple, never artificial.
We hate robotic, impersonal customer service, so we aim to be its antithesis. We are here for any question you have and we love nothing more than a happy, satisfied customer! We never outsource customer service or take shortcuts here.
