This cheese doesn't melt, but can be warmed (put in the microwave for 10 or 20 seconds until it glistens). It has a sweet flavor, especially toward its brown crust where it has been caramelized. We recommend it served as a dessert with honey or lingonberry jam. For an unusual treat, try it dipped in hot coffee!

Comments about Juustoleipa (Bread Cheese):
This cheese is delicious, my friends always look forward to me serving it as an appetizer, and I crave it for all kinds of occasions. It reminds me of the taste of perfectly melted mozzarella on a pizza. Love it.
Comments about Juustoleipa (Bread Cheese):
For some reason, this shipment of Bread Cheese was no longer cold. It was soft and a little slimy. It set up when I refrigerated it so hope it is okay to eat. My first order was still cold when it arrived and was delicious.

Comments about Juustoleipa (Bread Cheese):
My husband is a man of simple tastes. I just love cheese all kinds of cheese. So, I try this one with my husband in mind. I make it just like the package indicates 30-45 secs in the microwave and then I add honey on top after cutting into squares. Well my husband just loved this! Now I do this couple times a month, as an appetizer. Also, tried it with rosehip jam.. absolutely decadent.
Comments about Juustoleipa (Bread Cheese):
I grew up in Finland with amazing home-made juustoleipa (thank you Mom) and that may explain why all commercial products I have tried thus far have been disappointments. This Wisconsin variety was a really pleasant surprise and I had to order more. Good with hot coffee, amazing with cloudberry preserve.

Comments about Juustoleipa (Bread Cheese):
This is as close to the original as it can be. The original in Finland is not as firm...juustoleipa in Finland is much softer, but I would recommend this to a friend.
Comments about Juustoleipa (Bread Cheese):
This is the best Bread Cheese I've had since being in Finland. I didn't think I would ever find it in the states again, my mother used to know the farmers that made Bread Cheese but it is a dying art, sad to say. I'm so glad I found this website.

Comments about Juustoleipa (Bread Cheese):
Tasted a sample at [...] and feel in love. It reminds me of a grilled cheese sandwich without the bread.
Comments about Juustoleipa (Bread Cheese):
Just as described. I really liked the firm and even chewy texture of this hardy cheese. Warm it up until it begins to melt and top it with whatever you'd put on yorkshire pudding (apple butter, jam, marmalade, or even syrup!)

This is one of my favourite cheeses. I love it by itself, but I have eaten it with jam.

This was a great cheese. My wife doesn't like a lot of cheese, but I had to wrestle to get some of this one she tried it.
Good anytime morning or evening.

I keep this cheese on hand at all times, it has a great flavor, and I always take it to parties; it is the first plate emptied.

Comments about Juustoleipa (Bread Cheese):
[...] This cheese is OK but not like the product that one gets in Finland or that this made by the Finnish ladies in upper Michigan.
