Curd Nerd Newsletter Edition #29
|
|
|
G'day Curd Nerds. Leipäjuusto (Finnish Squeaky Cheese) is a unique cheese that originates in Lapland in the far north of Finland. The flavour has to be tried and experienced at least once in a lifetime.

Leipäjuusto

|
Leipäjuusto (bread cheese) or juustoleipä (Swedish: kaffeost), also known in the United States as Finnish squeaky cheese, is a Finnish fresh cheese traditionally made from cow beestings, rich milk from a cow that has recently calved. Reindeer or even goat milk can also be used.
|
The cheese originally comes from Southern Ostrobothnia, Northern Finland, and Kainuu.
|
I used pasteurised/unhomogenised cow's milk for my version which I believe is the milk they now use for the commercial version of this cheese.
|
Traditionally this cheese is served with a generous helping of Cloudberry Jam. I managed to get my hands on some from a Scandinavian grocer online and was blown away by the flavour (in a good way). I've never tasted anything quite like it before!

|
So, please take the time to watch the video to see how I created this very unusual, yet simple and flavoursome cheese

So to keep the cost of production down, I print and spiral bind them myself. You can pick up both books in a bundle below.
