Vintage Waikato

Onewhero, North Waikato
Pasteurised Cows Milk

In 1981, Dutch immigrant Albert Alferink started making cheese to the traditional Gouda recipe with the milk from the neighbouring farm. The result took on a new character that reflected the local milk and flora, so he named it accordingly. Waikato Vintage is made in spring and matured for at least 2 years. The flavour is rich and milky with a sweet finish reflecting the fresh, spring milk & an experienced hand. Gold medal at the 2020 Cheese Awards and Bronze at the 2019 World Cheese Awards.
