4 reviews for Trader Joe’s 1000 Day Gouda Cheese Reviews
Rated 3 out of 5

The old 1000 day gouda was sold with an orange wax coating and it was amazing. Recently (Aug/2021) the vendor or recipe changed and the new version with brown/tan wax is very mediocre. I’ve been driving all Trader Joe’s nearby trying to buy all the older version. I am so bummed out.

I agree with Nancy. I’ve eaten this cheese for years. It had an orangey red or reddish orange wax coating and it was amazing, nutty, crunchy with the usual crystals, and top notch. Now the rind dark brown/tan and the cheese itself tastes much newer, less flavor, less crystallization, different texture when melted. The consistency is grainier and markedly less delicious than the previously carried cheese under the same label. No longer is a good deal for the price, and is not even any longer a particularly good cheese worth the calories or the seeking out of it.

I never had the old so I have nothing to compare this current version to but I absolutely love it. It’s got thes fabulous little salt pockets in it that burst on your tongue. I find it delicious!

Had a sample. Decent. Nutty and slightly sweet.
