Gouda Cheese

Albion Ridge Colony’s handcrafted Gouda is colony cheesemaking at its finest. Made with slow pasteurized, high protein A2 milk straight from their Picture Butte, Alberta herd, this Gouda delivers a rich, creamy depth of flavour that mass-produced cheese simply cannot replicate.

A2 milk comes from cows that produce only the A2 beta-casein protein, making it naturally easier to digest and richer in nutritional quality. Combined with slow pasteurization that preserves the milk’s natural enzymes and flavour complexity, and the high protein content that gives the cheese its dense, satisfying body, every wheel of Albion Ridge Gouda is a product of genuine care and craft.

No fillers, no shortcuts, no compromise. Just honest colony cheesemaking the way it should be done.

What Makes This Gouda Different:

• A2 Milk — naturally easier to digest, richer in protein quality, sourced from Albion Ridge’s own herd

• Slow Pasteurized — gentle heat treatment preserves natural flavour complexity and milk enzymes

• High Protein Milk — delivers a dense, satisfying texture and superior nutritional profile

• Colony Crafted — small batch production with full attention to quality at every step

• No additives — pure milk, culture, rennet, and salt, nothing else

Perfect for cheeseboards, melting, cooking, or simply sliced with fresh bread. A true prairie-made artisan cheese from one of Alberta’s most trusted colony producers.
