Herrgardsost Cheese
About Herrgardsost Cheese
Herrgardsost is a semi-hard cheese from Sweden, made from pasteurized cow's milk. It typically has a fat content ranging from 30-45%, giving it a creamy texture that's both firm and smooth. The flavor profile is mild but pleasantly nutty, with sweet and tangy notes that make it approachable and enjoyable for a wide range of palates. Its aroma is reminiscent of fresh grass, which complements its yellow interior. Herrgardsost is traditionally encased in a waxed rind, helping to preserve its freshness. Known also as Vadenost or Manorhouse cheese, it is a versatile option suitable for snacking, melting, or adding to a cheese board.
