Oud Brugge Cheese
Oud Brugge is a Belgian Gouda-style cheese from Moorslede, West Flanders. Made from cow’s milk and matured for 12 months, it develops a firm, crumbly texture with characteristic white crystals, a rich nutty aroma, and full-bodied flavor. While naturally salty due to its long aging, this intensity makes it a standout on cheese boards, where it pairs beautifully with fruits, nuts, and charcuterie. In salads, its savory depth and crunchy crystals add contrast and elevate simple greens into gourmet dishes. Respected across Europe for its artisanal quality, Oud Brugge has earned multiple international awards.
