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.
