Nøkkelost

Nøkkelost is a traditional semi-hard cheese made from cow's milk. Also known as Kuminost, the cheese matures for 3 months and it's flavored with cumin, cloves, and caraway. It has a natural rind and a creamy texture, while the flavors are spicy, tangy, and nutty.


It is recommended to melt Nøkkelost over meat or potatoes and pair it with a glass of red wine on the side.
