Specialities Inc, a US-based producer and distributor of deli food products, has introduced a 5kg artisan gouda cheese infused with pumpkin spice flavours.

Crafted in the Netherlands by wholesale cheesemaker Van der Heiden Kaas, known for its traditional cheese-making techniques, the seasonal cheese features a unique blend of liquorice, ginger and cinnamon to create a 'rich, creamy gouda designed to evoke the feeling of cosy autumnal days and seasonal flavours.'

The cheese was created as part of a collaboration between Specialities Inc and Van der Heiden Kaas, with the companies seeking the 'perfect flavour pairing that would resonate with the American palate'.

Pumpkin Spice Gouda is making its debut at the Summer Fancy Food Show in New York, US, this July.
