The Most Popular Cheese? Try Jarlsberg.


How popular is Jarlsberg cheese-the nutty-sweetish Norwegian export-made from cow's milk is the perfect balance of semi-soft/hard goodness?

In the middle of a packed refrigerated cheese section where we shop-a lone hunk of Jarlsberg remained -which of course was snatched up by moi right before another shopper came looking for the exact same cheese... by name.

To sum it up=VERY POPULAR (in fact-Jarlsberg is the number one selling specialty cheese in the USA!

Versatile and approachable...Jarlsberg is the palate pleaser for cheese heads, gourmands and picky eaters (kids!!!) alike.

Mild in flavor but distinct with large round holes--serving suggestions-run the gamut-from straight out  small cubes or thinly sliced-for sandwiches, grilled -on burgers (plant based or not), or as part of a protein loaded s'more like bite-put a cube on a skewer -layered with chunks of green pepper and tomato and fresh basil leafs-roast for like a sec or 2 over an open fire...and slide it off between pre-sliced hunk of bread (brushed with olive oil or pesto -optional).
