Corrections to "Real Cheese"

I just got back from visiting my Dutch friend in the Netherlands, and I was reminded (as well as enlightened) on a few things cheese-related that has prompted me to provide corrections to my previous blog on cheese.

Firstly, what we know as Gouda cheese is actually just Dutch cheese. It is called either "Young" or "Old" in the Netherlands. Furthermore, Gouda cheese is not actually produced in the city Gouda; historically, the cheese was weighed and traded there, but it's produced in the regions around the city.

Secondly, who would have thought my friend is from the area that produces Lindberger cheese?! I did get a chance to taste it, but it wasn't a strong one. My cheese tolerance has definitely changed, as I found it acceptable. It seemed to taste a little smoky although no smoking is involved at all.

As for all my food escapades in the Netherlands: TO BE CONTINUED...
