Gräddost, which means 'cream cheese' in Swedish, is a delicious, mild, smooth, and creamy cheese made from cow's milk. It boasts a slightly nutty flavour laced with a fresh tang. The cheese features a smooth, pale yellow, natural rind with tiny holes scattered throughout the paste. It is ripened for up to seven months. Because Graddost melts easily, it is commonly used as a snack cheese and served with sandwiches, pizzas, fruits, or wine. It is popular in Norway and Denmark also.
