Located in: Cheese, Sweden
St. Olof was the most popular Nordic medieval saint, regarded as being both powerful and a good provider. This product bearing his legendary name is Sweden's most popular cheese. We have traced St. Olof's origin back through the centuries when handmade cheeses were produced by local dairymaids and farmer's wives. Today, this semi-soft, double rich cheese is manufactured in Arla Ost's sparkling, ultra-modern creamery in a corner of rural Sweden near the Baltic Sea. St. Olof will last for months in your refrigerator and sharpens with age. Mellow, ultra-rich and rindless, St. Olof is well-suited to everyone's palate. Enjoy it for breakfast, lunch, dinner or as a late-night snack.
  • Made from pasteurized cow's milk.

Since we're of Swedish descent, I ordered this for the big Christmas get-together. It was fantastic and received great comments from all. Soft enough to cut, with a creamy wonderful flavor.
