Herrgårdsost cheese

Herrgårdsost (Manor house) is a semi-hard Swedish cheese made from cows’ milk. Produced since the 1890s, it is still popular in Sweden today.

Herrgårdsost starts as semi-skimmed milk which is usually pasteurised. Bacterial starters are introduced to the milk, including lactic acid bacteria, which acidify the it, and propionic bacteria, which are responsible for producing the carbon dioxide that creates the holes. The soured milk is curdled with rennet and heated to no higher than 43°C. The whey is drained and the curd is pressed, and then salted in brine. Around two weeks later the cheeses are coated in wax. They are aged in this state, usually for another three or four months, but often up to 1 -2 years.

The cheese has a mild, sweet, nutty flavour and small round holes. The cheese is usually manufactured in wheels about 40 cm in diameter and 12 cm wide, weighing around 14 kg.
