Product information
Strength: 6
Västerbottensost is a hard mature cheese. Matured for at least 14 months, it has a deeply savoury taste with plenty of umami. The texture is both crumbly and juicy with hints of crunch.
The cheese has a characteristic flavour that is used widely in both traditional and modern Scandinavian cuisine. Try it instead of Pecorino or Parmesan on your pasta dish or in your salad for a surprising Swedish twist. Vasterbottenost is also excellent as a dessert cheese.
The Vasterbottenost Gourmet Piece - 165g is made from the centre part of the big cheese wheel - giving it a more delicate texture and flavour.
In 2016, Västerbottenost cheese was named best hard cheese in the Swedish cheese festival.

Delicious, gourmet quality
I bought this as part of a multi-buy deal and very pleased. The taste and appearance are gourmet, rather than highly processed. There is a welcome creaminess, whilst retaining the nutty taste and texture. I would buy this again at full price.
A real treat
We have only discovered Vasterbotten in the past couple of years, but it has become a regular purchase for us, mainly when on offer. This version is a step up and a real treat.
Worth the cost
While this may seem expensive, a little goes a long way. Lovely salt crystals. A super and unusual addition to a cheeseboard
Bland
I wanted to love this but found it bland with an odd texture.
Nutty goodness
Strong and tasty. I thoroughly enjoyed this hard cheese.
