{"product_id":"beemster-xo-aged-gouda-cheese","title":"Beemster X.O. Aged Gouda","description":"\u003cp\u003eA superb aged gouda.  The Beemster co-operative has been making and aging cheese for over a century in the Beemster municipality of the Netherlands.  The Beemster polder is 20 feet below sea-level, with an incredibly nutrient-rich earth and grasses that sustain the cows for most of the year. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe co-op also works with Caring Dairy, a program that provides resources for farmers to maintain sustainability via appropriate energy use, healthy animals and a good economic return.   Aged for a minimum of 26 months, Beemster X.O. is a hard, dense cheese with intense flavors of butterscotch, smoky caramel and toasted almonds.  The texture is firm but maintains a butteriness that’s irresistible, as well as the signature crunch that’s found in a well-aged cheese.  For a new twist on a classic dessert, try shaving Beemster X.O. over a bowl of vanilla ice cream or a slice of apple pie.  Planning a hike or picnic?  Forget the trail mix and pack some aged gouda, fresh apples and a bar of dark chocolate. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Beemster","offers":[{"title":"1\/2 pound","offer_id":33847092097,"sku":"SKU494","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 pound","offer_id":33847092161,"sku":"SKU495","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1935\/9089\/products\/beemster-xo_3.jpg?v=1494038136","url":"https:\/\/www.markethallfoods.mom\/products\/beemster-xo-aged-gouda-cheese","provider":"Market Hall Foods","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
