Gräddost | Local Cheese From Sweden, Northern Europe | TasteAtlas

Gräddost

Gräddost is a traditional cheese originating from Sweden, its name meaning cream cheese when translated. The cheese is made from pasteurized cow's milk and it's usually left to age for up to 7 months. Underneath its waxed rind, the texture is smooth and creamy with small eyes dispersed throughout the body.


The aromas are nutty, while the flavors are usually mild, sweet, and nutty with fresh and tangy hints. Due to the fact that Gräddost melts well, it's often used on pizzas or in sandwiches. It's recommended to pair the cheese with Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot, and Chenin Blanc.
