Svecia cheese

Svecia (or Sveciaost) is a Skyddad geografisk beteckning (SGB) Swedish cheese. It is a semi-hard cows’ milk cheese, with a creamy consistency, light yellow colour, small irregular holes, and a mildly acidic taste. It is produced in wax-covered cylinders weighing 12 to 15 kg each.

Svecia is produced in a fashion typical to many semi-hard cheeses. Milk is pasteurised to 72°C then cooled to around 30°. Rennet is added to coagulate the milk into curds. The curd is cut, stirred, and slowly drained, then heated back up to a temperature near 40° to drive off more moisture. After salt is added, the curds are packed into moulds, loosely enough to leave the air pockets which make up Svecia's tiny holes. After a soak in brine, the cheese is matured in a dry environment for at least two months, but sometimes up to more than a year.
