Nøkkelost

Nøkkelost

Nøkkelost (Norwegian: "key cheese"), also seen in Swedish spelling as Nökkelost and sometimes called kuminost (cumin cheese), is a Norwegian cheese flavored with cumin, caraway seeds and cloves. It is semi-hard, yellow, and made from cow's milk. It is made in the shape of wheels or blocks. Nøkkelost cheese is a factory-made variation of Leyden cheese, and has been made since the 17th century. Its period of maturation is three months.

There was a version of Nøkkelost manufactured and marketed in the US throughout the 1960s.[citation needed] Kraft Foods first called it "Caraway" then later used "Kuminost Spiced Cheese" on the label.[citation needed] It disappeared in the late 1970s.[citation needed] This cheese is also produced by cheesemaker Pleasant Valley Dairy from Ferndale, WA.
