Jarlsberg makes a fine table cheese, and it’s also good melted and grilled.
Norwegian Jarlsberg is an aged, medium-hard cheese. Made from the sweet milk of cows in their summer pasture, it is less nutty than classic Swiss, and has a milder flavour. It is a golden yellow, and has the characteristic Swiss-like holes in the body of the cheese. It is produced in 22-pound (10 kg) wheels that are paraffin-coated to protect it from drying.
Varieties
Jarlsberg is the prototype of a relatively new cheese type, “Goutaler” cheeses, inspired both by Gouda (for its smooth texture) and Emmenthaler (for its flavour). Modeled after Emmenthaler, Jarlsberg is produced through less labour-intensive and time-consuming methods; it is aged for a briefer period, and is moister as a result. Other Goutaler cheeses include Alpsberg and Felsberg from Germany, and Leerdamer from the Netherlands.
Availability
Widely available in natural food stores, specialty stores, and markets, this is the best-selling imported cheese in America.
Preparation, uses, and tips
Jarlsberg makes a fine table cheese, and is a favourite in sandwiches and with fruit as a snack; it is also good for melting and grilling.
