Mon, July 30, 2007 - 3:04 PMYes, old goudas are naturally hard...they're also highly delicious. Cheese shops sometimes use a wire-saw (piece of wire with jagged edges tied between two o-rings) to cut it in the shop, rather than a knife.
Grating it is one way to deal. It's pretty tasty though, you can sort of assault it with a sharp knife and cut it into little pieces and have it like any other nice cheese.
