De Waag Gouda 1668

The Goudse Waag, a monumental building dating from 1668, has been Gouda's trading center for centuries. All goods, and later only Gouda cheese, were weighed here to determine the tax. Afterward, the goods were sold at the Gouda (cheese) market in front of the building. It was at this market that the Coöperatie De Producent was founded in 1915. For over a hundred years, we have been the farmers keeping the tradition of cheesemaking alive on the farm.

In honor of our 110th anniversary, our first store on the Gouda Market, and our renewed partnership with De Goudse Waag, we developed a beautiful, aged yet smooth cheese that we named De Waag Gouda 1668. After aging for over 18 months, it is ready for sale.
