PARRANO Imported from Holland  

Parrano, an aged Gouda-style Dutch cheese, has enjoyed double-digit sales growth in the United States every year for the past decade. That's impressive and perhaps an indication of the kind of cheese that appeals to Americans. Smooth in texture and full of flavor, it is made from pasteurized cow's milk. Enjoy Parrano as a dessert cheese, with some toasted hazelnuts and a glass of Sercial or Verdelho Madeira. A big Cabernet Sauvignon red will also pair well with this cheese.
