Björnost is a hearty cheese. This rather tangy typically Scandinavian cheese weighs 10 kilos and has many irregular holes and a blue wax rind. We mature it for around a year to do it justice. It has a strong flavour and smell. It is excellent for a typical Swedish breakfast sandwich, but also works well on its own with a glass of good wine.
