Located in: Cheese, Norway

In Norway, dairy farmers take their cheesemaking very seriously. Jarlsberg is not made on small farms in rural communities, but rather is created in a laboratory setting through a multi-stage, high-tech manufacturing process. The special bacteria that gives the cheese its famous wide-eyed holes and its sugary sweet flavor are cultivated in a controlled environment and added to the curd midway through the cheesemaking process. The result is a beautiful and delicious 20 pound wheel that defines the baby swiss category of cheeses. Jarlsberg was first produced in 1815 and has long since become Norway's most famous cheese and a household name here in America.

Made from pasteurized cow's milk.

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Jarlsberg:

Particularly versatile cheese: does a fine job in salads and sandwiches (chops and slices well) without being too assertive or too feeble, and is exceptionally good for grilled ham and cheese sandwich or just open-face grilled cheese--a slice straight on to a non-stick pan, medium heat, done till brown outside and almost liquid inside, goes very well on a buttered slice of good (or white) bread.
