Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Iceland are the stunning countries that make up Scandinavia. They are linked by distinct, yet related cultures. The pureness of their air, water and land translates into very clean milk, which leads to high quality cheeses. We have chosen a selection of ½ pound cheeses from these countries (with the exception of Iceland) to take you on a cheese tour of Scandinavia.

  • Gjetost: Pronounced YAY-toast, this caramel-flavored cheese comes from a blend of cow and goat's milk. Packed with energy, Norwegian hikers always pack along a block of Gjetost before venturing too far away from home.
  • Finlandia Swiss: Finland's best-selling, rich and characteristically nutty Swiss. Made from the EU's healthiest milk (IDF, 1995) taken from dairy cows grazing in Finland's pure and clean Northern environment, it's no wonder that Finlandia Swiss is the market leader in the U.S.A.
  • Västerbotten is the traditional Swedish celebration cheese. To many Swedes, it is considered the "emperor of cheeses", either because of its heft (it is made in 40 pound wheels) or its full flavor. Its flavor is rich and full-bodied with a tangy, bittersweet bite.
  • Danish Crumbly Blue: Made from cow's milk, it is a white cheese with a delicate network of blue-green veins. Denmark's rich, green grazing pastures and fertile soil contribute to the fine, consistent quality of this world famous product.

Please note that any item temporarily out of stock will be substituted with a similar item of equal value.

Can't Wait to Have it Again
By Chinookdogs from New Hampshire on 11/18/2007
Pros:
Flavorful, Rich
Best Uses:
Hors d'oeuvre
Describe Yourself:
Frequent Diner, Simple Tastes
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I just hosted a party- Swedish Themed- and was thrilled with the quality of the cheeses- as were my guests.
I had ordered the product and it arrived quickly a couple weeks ago. I had been dying to rip right into the packages to taste but waited until the party. They were all great and none dissappointed. The variety of tastes and textures added to the tasting. Some were sharp, others creamy- melting alomst like a fudge in your mouth.
Not one complaint- in fact I can't wait to have another party so I can order it again. There was more then enough cheese to have several tastes and a little left over for my husband and I to enjoy.

A tiny bit pricey
Best Uses:
A wine and cheese tasing
Bottom Line:

We used this product for a wine and cheese tasting, it was especially fun as my family background is Scandanavian. So we did a little "Heritage Night". All the cheese was well received. Thanks so much!
