2023 Awards
2023 Awards
We are incredibly grateful for the success that Marieke Gouda has achieved since its inception. It is truly humbling to reflect on the fact that just three months after creating our first batch of gouda, we were honored with a Best in Class award at the US Cheese Championship. Since then, we have been fortunate enough to bring home over 200 additional awards. The year 2023 has been particularly special for us as we were privileged to receive 40 awards including our first Sofi Award. We are deeply grateful for the recognition that our cheese has received and remain committed to producing the highest quality products possible.
