Pasteurized cow's milk, vegetarian rennet. 8 oz. wedge; also available by the case of 12, as a 12.5 lb half wheel, or as a 25 lb wheel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Flavor Experience\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirm and slightly oily with a buttery sweetness and a gentle kiss of salt in the finish. Prima Donna is the rare Gouda that rivals Parmigiano Reggiano in sheer crowd-pleasing appeal — approachable enough for everyday snacking, complex enough to anchor a serious cheese board.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Story\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn in 1990, Prima Donna is essentially Gouda crafted with starter cultures typically used in northern Italy. Those cultures yield a sweeter, more nuanced cheese than you'd find in a traditional Dutch Gouda. The makers continue to refine their craft — most recently in 2022, when they transitioned to a microbial rennet, making Prima Donna suitable for vegetarians.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUsage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSlice thin for a charcuterie board, shave over pasta or risotto, or melt into a grilled cheese for a touch of Italian-Dutch magic.
