Best Semi-hard Cheese Types in the World
Grevé is a traditional semi-hard cheese. It's made from pasteurized cow's milk and aged for about 10 months. This emmental-style cheese was first produced in Örnsköldsvik in 1964. Underneath its green waxed rind, the texture is smooth and creamy, with large, walnut-sized eyes dispersed throughout the body.
The flavors are mild and nutty with a slightly sharp finish. It's recommended to use Grevé as a table cheese and pair it with a glass of beer or white wine. Grevé also melts well and it can be used in various baked dishes.
Victoria is a Swedish blue cheese hailing from Oviken, where it's produced by Oviken Cheese. The cheese is made from a mixture of pasteurized cow's and sheep's milk. It's usually left to age for 2 months before consumption. Underneath its mold-ripened natural rind, the texture is firm and creamy, with blue veins running throughout the body.
The aromas are intense, and the flavors are distinctively salty and earthy, becoming even more pronounced with further aging.
Magna is a Swedish blue cheese originating from Oviken, where it's produced by Oviken Cheese. The cheese is made from raw cow's milk. Underneath its mold-ripened natural rind, the texture is firm with blue veins running throughout the paste.
The flavors are round, well-balanced, sharp, and salty without any pungent aromas. Magna has won a gold medal at the World Cheese Awards in 2013.
