Say cheese!
It's official! The Swedish speciality ”kaffeost” (coffee cheese) has been granted EU protected status. Kaffeost is a fresh cheese made from reindeer, goat, or cow's milk, which is only produced in the northernmost parts of Sweden. It’s traditionally consumed with coffee: you cut the cheese into small pieces and throw them into your coffee cup.

As a cheese lover and coffee addict, I had to try the kaffeost once in my life. A few years ago, my dream came true when I went on a trip to Northern Sweden. Surprisingly, what I enjoyed most wasn't the taste, which was quite buttery, but the playfulness of fishing out the small pieces of cheese one by one. If you ever go north, give it a try!
