Delhaize Gouda Jong is a classic mild Dutch cheese variety sold under the private label of the Belgian retailer Delhaize. The product is identifiable by its characteristic yellow packaging and the Dutch flag, indicating its origins in traditional Netherlands cheese-making. Although Delhaize is one of Belgium's oldest and most iconic retail chains, its production of private-label dairy involves sourcing from specialized manufacturers, primarily located across the border in the Netherlands.

The brand's history dates back to 1867 when it was founded in Belgium by the Delhaize brothers. In 2016, a major merger occurred between the Belgian Delhaize Group and the Dutch Ahold group, forming Ahold Delhaize. As of 2026, the brand remains under the ultimate ownership of the Ahold Delhaize conglomerate, which is headquartered in Zaandam, the Netherlands. This ownership structure reflects one of the largest food retail groups in the world, managing various supermarket banners across Europe and the United States.
