Wine Pairings

Preparation, uses, and tips

Jarlsberg makes a fine table cheese, and is a favourite in sandwiches and with fruit as a snack; it is also good for melting and grilling.

Buying and storing tips

This medium-hard cheese can be stored for two to four weeks.

Varieties

Jarlsberg is the prototype of a relatively new cheese type, “Goutaler” cheeses, inspired both by Gouda (for its smooth texture) and Emmenthaler (for its flavour). Modeled after Emmenthaler, Jarlsberg is produced through less labour-intensive and time-consuming methods; it is aged for a briefer period, and is moister as a result. Other Goutaler cheeses include Alpsberg and Felsberg from Germany, and Leerdamer from the Netherlands.
