How much fat is there in gouda cheese?

The fat content in Gouda cheese can vary based on factors such as the specific type (young, medium, aged), the brand, and whether it's made from whole or partially skimmed milk. Here are approximate values for the fat content in Gouda cheese:

  1. Young Gouda (per serving portion 28 grams): It typically contains around 7-8 grams of fat.
  2. Medium Gouda (per serving portion 28 grams): The fat content may range from 8-9 grams.
  3. Aged Gouda (per serving portion 28 grams): Aged Gouda tends to have a slightly higher fat content, ranging from 9-10 grams.
  4. A 100-gram serving portion of gouda cheese is considered to contain 27 grams of fat

Keep in mind that these are general estimates, and the actual fat content can vary between different Gouda cheeses. Additionally, reduced-fat or low-fat versions of Gouda are available, which would have lower fat content than the standard varieties.

If you're looking for specific nutritional information, it's always best to check the product packaging or the manufacturer's website for accurate details regarding fat content and other nutritional components.
