Norwegian Jarlsberg

Norwegian Jarlsberg, with crackers
This is made from a mild cow’s milk and originating from Jarlsberg, Norway this cheese is made with large irregular holes.

With a yellow way rind, and a firm yellow interior this cheese has a mild, nutty flavour which is also slightly sweet. Jarlsberg can be used for anything from cooking to eating as a snack. It has a creamy supple texture and in Norway, it is produced in limited quantities, and is aged for a minimum of one year and you are able to tell how old the cheese is by the size of the holes; the larger they are the older the cheese is.

The cheese is made using a part skimmed pasteurized milk and is cultured using the strict standards of excellence. It is a healthy cheese and provides quality protein and calcium with a relatively low fat content.
