Brabander Reserve, famously nicknamed "Black Betty," is a rare, seasonal goat's milk Gouda hand-selected by master affineur Betty Koster and imported exclusively by Essex St. Cheese. Aged for at least 16 months in unique warm cellars, the cheese develops a dense, crumbly texture heavily studded with crunchy protein crystals. Its complex flavor profile offers deeply sweet and savory notes of caramel, brown butter, and toasted almonds, completely lacking the sharp tang of younger goat cheeses.
