How We Ship

FreshWave Packaging

Our products are always shipped so they will arrive at your door in optimal condition! We’ve carefully selected packaging options that have minimal impact on the environment without compromising on food safety or quality.

For perishable orders, we line our shipping boxes with Tempguard - a unique, padded insulator made of 100% pre-consumer recycled paper material. We further control the temperature with recycled kraft paper fill and non-toxic frozen gel packs. In the summer months, we may include dry ice to ensure fresh delivery in very hot weather.

Note: Please join our efforts to be mindful of our environment and extend the life-cycle of our packaging, by recycling your shipping box, Tempguard liner, and kraft fill (all 100% curbside recyclable!). Store the gel packs in your freezer and reuse to keep your next picnic or road trip fare cool.

Essex St. Cheese’s L’Amuse Signature Gouda is no ordinary Dutch Gouda—it’s the benchmark for what this cheese can be when aged with care and intention. Produced in northern Holland by the Cono Co-op using milk from Holstein Friesian cows, the wheels are handed over to affineur and cheesemonger Betty Koster of Fromagerie L’Amuse. Betty ages the cheese at slightly warmer temperatures than typical, a delicate and risky process that rewards with spectacular flavor: roasted hazelnuts, burnt caramel, and a creamy yet crunchy texture with tyrosine crystals that pop in every bite. Unlike many aged Goudas that turn brittle, L’Amuse retains a velvety suppleness, making it both deeply flavorful and exceptionally approachable.

At the table, this two-year Gouda shines on cheese boards with cured meats, Marcona almonds, figs, or dark chocolate. It also excels in cooking—grate over roasted root vegetables, melt into a luxurious sauce for steak or burgers, or fold into a fondue. Imported exclusively through Essex St. Cheese, this cheese reflects Betty Koster’s lifelong dedication to Dutch dairy artisans and her mastery of the art of affinage.
