Svecia

Svecia is a cylindrical, semi-hard cheese made from cow's milk, with a waxed rind exterior and a light yellow to yellow interior with small holes dispersed throughout. It is left to mature for a minimum of two months, after which it develops a full-bodied, acidic flavor.

Svecia is produced only in the low areas of Sweden and its name is derived from the old Latin word Suecia, which means 'Sweden'. It goes well on sandwiches, with figs and jam, or used in cooking because it has great melting properties and gives a nice color to the dishes.
