Jarlsberg cheese

Common card · No. 213377

Jarlsberg ( YARLZ-burg, Norwegian: [ˈjɑ̀ːlsbærɡ]) is a brand of mild Swiss-type cheese made from cow's milk. The brand trademark is owned by Tine SA, the largest Norwegian agricultural cooperative. It is named after the former countship of Jarlsberg and its Jarlsberg Manor. The cheese's production method was developed in 1956 by Ole Martin Ystgaard at the Dairy Institute at the Agricultural University of Norway, based in part on recipes dating back to the 1850s (in turn based on Swiss recipes introduced to the area in the 1830s). Besides Norway, the brand is also produced in Ireland by Dairygold under a licensing agreement and in the U.S. state of Ohio by Alpine Cheese Co. under contract from Tine's U.S. subsidiary, Norseland, Inc.
