Jarlsberg is a classic Norwegian semi-soft cheese made from pasteurised cow’s milk, loved for its mild, sweet and nutty flavour. With its smooth texture and distinctive large, irregular eyes, this well-known continental cheese is both recognisable and wonderfully easy to enjoy.
Its mellow character makes Jarlsberg a versatile choice for cheeseboards, sandwiches and everyday grazing. The gentle sweetness and nutty finish give it broad appeal, while its semi-soft texture makes it easy to slice and serve. Naturally lactose-free, it is also a great option for those looking for a cheese with the same creamy enjoyment and a little extra flexibility.
At Riddle & Rind, each portion is cut fresh to order to preserve quality, flavour and freshness, whether you are building a cheeseboard or choosing a smooth and approachable cheese to enjoy at home.
Format: Cut Cheese
Serving Suggestions: Perfect on cheeseboards with crackers, fresh crusty bread or sourdough, and delicious enjoyed in sandwiches, with apple slices or as part of an easy grazing board
Perfect Pairing: Mild Cheese Lover’s Rhubarb & Date Chutney – Raydale Preserves – the gentle fruity sweetness of rhubarb and date complements the mild, nutty character of this Norwegian cheese beautifully.
