Artikaas Introduces New Youngsters Flavor: Black Garlic Gouda

Innovative Gouda Joins Artikaas’ Extensive Collection of Dutch Cheeses

Garden City, NY — Artikaas, exclusively imported from the Netherlands by Dutch Cheese Makers, is thrilled to introduce the latest addition to its Youngsters line: Black Garlic Gouda. Aged to perfection for 4-6 weeks and crafted from premium Dutch cow’s milk, this young Gouda is infused with black garlic, delivering a fusion of creamy, savory, and subtly sweet flavors. This marks the 16th product in the popular Youngsters line, known for its creative and approachable flavors.

“Black Garlic is a fun and innovative flavor that we’re excited to share with cheese lovers everywhere,” said Jessica Frey, Marketing Director. “It brings a fresh twist to a classic Gouda, making it approachable yet unique. I believe it will become an instant fan favorite on any cheese board.”

Youngsters Black Garlic Gouda brings the signature creamy texture of Gouda but elevates it with a rich umami punch from the fermented garlic, an ingredient often favored by chefs. Its mild profile makes it perfect for everything from gourmet snacking to culinary creations.

This exciting launch continues the momentum of Artikaas’ successful Youngsters line, which debuted five new flavors earlier this year: Togarashi, Gochujang, Peppadew®, Mesquite BBQ, and Jalapeño. It’s a testament to the brand’s commitment to blending artisanal tradition with creative, modern flavors.

Tasting Notes for Youngsters Black Garlic Gouda:

  • Texture: Smooth, creamy
  • Flavor: Mild, with a balanced umami richness
  • Perfect Pairings: Enjoy with crusty bread, charcuterie, or lightly fruity wines

Starting in November, Youngsters Black Garlic Gouda will be available at Whole Foods Market nationwide, with plans for wider retail distribution.
