It’s possible that people think of Gouda as that stuff which comes in the standardized, plastic-sealed block of rubbery cheese that most American grocery stores carry. That is bland. One might mistake it for the Monterey Jack next to it, were the labels switched.
Don’t get me wrong, I’ll still happily eat it, but yeah, real Gouda has flavor.
