Jarlsberg®
Varieties
Jarlsberg is variant of a relatively new cheese type, “Goutaler” cheeses, inspired both by Gouda (for its smooth texture) and Emmenthaler (for its flavor). Modeled after Emmenthaler, Jarlsberg is produced through less labor-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.
Preparation, Uses, & Tips
Jarlsberg makes a fine table cheese, and is a favorite in sandwiches and with fruit as a snack; it is also good for melting and grilling.
Storing
This medium-hard cheese can be stored for two to four weeks.
