Västerbottensostpaj

Västerbotten cheese is a cheese from the Västerbotten region of Sweden. It is a hard cow's milk cheese with tiny eyes or holes and a firm and granular texture. As in Cheddar cheese, the curd is heated, cut, and stirred before the cheese is moulded and aged. Strong in flavour, its taste is described as somewhat like Parmesan cheese, salty, but with more bitter notes. It is light yellow in colour and has a fat content of 31%. Västerbotten cheese must be aged for at least 12 months, but 14 months is more common practice. Many Swedish people consider it the king of cheeses, and demand for it has often outstripped the limited supply. It has also been served as part of the Nobel Dinner, and other Royal dinners.
