Almnäs Tegel

★ 5.05.0 from 1 tasting

Almnäs Tegel is a Swedish alpine-style cheese made at Almnäs Bruk, a historic farm with cheesemaking roots dating back to the 19th century. Made from cow’s milk and aged for on average 18 months, it has a firm, elastic texture with savory, brothy flavors and notes of toasted nuts and caramel. Its name comes from the traditional Swedish brick-shaped molds used to form the cheese. Each wheel has a foot shape pressed into it as part of the Brick-production history of Almnäs Bruk.
