Almnäs Tegel is a distinctive Swedish cheese produced by Almnäs Bruk AB. Named after the traditional brick shape, "Tegel" means "brick" in Swedish, reflecting both its form and the method of imprinting the cheese with a pattern reminiscent of a brick wall.
This semi-hard cheese is made using organic cow’s milk from the farm’s own herd. Aged for a minimum of 14 months, Almnäs Tegel develops a rich, complex flavor with nutty and slightly sweet undertones. The cheese is notable for its large size, traditionally weighing around 12 kilograms per block.
