Stoppetik

Stoppetik is a term that refers to a type of traditional Dutch cheese, specifically a type of Gouda. The name "stoppetik" translates to "little stop" in English, reflecting its small size and the fact that it is often used to "stop" or complement other cheeses in a cheese board. Stoppetik is typically made from cow's milk and has a mild, slightly sweet flavor. It is known for its smooth, creamy texture and is often enjoyed on its own or paired with fruits, nuts, and other cheeses. The cheese is typically sold in small, round wheels and is often produced by small, family-owned dairies in the Netherlands. Stoppetik is a versatile cheese that can be enjoyed at any time of the day, making it a popular choice for cheese boards and snacking.
