Made with an Italian-style culture, Prima Donna Red (its red rind indicates that it is Extra Aged whereas the blue Prima Donna is young and mild) has a nutty, creamy flavor with a tangy bite. With a solid body and small, regular holes, Prima Donna Red has unmatched versatility. It can be easily cut for snacking, grated for soups and sliced for sandwiches. Prima Donna Red pairs well with fruit, beer and wine, served with crackers or breads.
Prima Donna Red undergoes an extensive aging process that concentrates its flavor and forms small crunchy protein crystals. The particular cheese culture used in its manufacture, a culture imported from Italy, gives Prima Donna a sweeter taste than traditional Dutch Gouda. Despite its Italian character, Prima Donna is made in Holland.
