Gouda

Gouda is a sliced, uncooked pressed cow‑milk cheese marketed by President, made primarily from pasteurised French milk with a portion sourced from the Netherlands. It provides a high amount of protein (24 g) and calcium (0.75 g) per 100 g while containing low sugars, but its saturated fat (20 g) and moderate salt (1.4 g) drive a Nutri‑Score of D and an Eco‑Score of C. Overall it is a good source of protein and calcium for cheese lovers, yet the high saturated fat and salt make it less suitable for heart‑healthy diets and it is not appropriate for vegan or vegetarian eating patterns.
