Semi-Hard Cheese

Each country or area has its own semi-hard cheese, Examples include Colby, Jarlsberg, Herrgårdsost, Tilsiter, Gouda and Edam.

They are all produced in a similar way, but differ in fat content, moisture, texture, ripening and taste.

Young, mild, semi-hard cheeses are ideal for melting. This cheese is often sliced for use in sandwiches.

More mature cheese with a stronger taste is popular as a snack.
