Notes: I bought this local cheese because I love Iowa farmers. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that Frisian Farms is a small dairy specializing in a few hand-made, artisan Gouda cheeses. The Bandstra family uses a small batch process, organic milk from their own herd, and produce only a few types of Gouda. It's close enough that I'm thinking about taking a tour next week.
