Tine Ridderost Knight Cheese Sliced — 170g

Knight Cheese Sliced - Ridderost, Skivet by Tine (170g) is the convenient pre-sliced version of TINE’s premium Norwegian semi-soft, smear-ripened (washed-rind) cheese. “Skivet” simply means “sliced” in Norwegian — the exact same Ridderost (“Knight Cheese”) you loved in the 285g block, now ready-to-use in a handy smaller pack.

Appearance & Texture

The 170g pack contains neatly pre-sliced pieces (typically 8–12 slices depending on thickness) in a retail tray or vacuum pack. Each slice shows the signature orange-yellow washed rind on the edges and a smooth, pale yellow, silky paste inside. The texture stays soft, supple, pliable and buttery — it folds beautifully, slices cleanly, and melts like a dream while still holding shape when cold.

Flavor Profile

Mild yet richly aromatic and distinctive, with creamy savoriness and a pleasant subtle tang. It develops gentle piquant notes as it warms but never gets sharp or overpowering. A true Norwegian cousin of French washed-rind cheeses like Port Salut — elegant and versatile.

History & Background

Identical to the classic block: created by TINE in 1960 at a small dairy on Norway’s scenic west coast. Award-winning with gold medals and Norway’s official specialty food label.

Ingredients

Pasteurized milk and cream, lactic acid cultures, salt, microbial rennet, ripening cultures, preservative (sodium nitrate), and coloring (annatto extract norbixin).

Store refrigerated at 0–4 °C and bring to room temperature for the creamiest texture and fullest flavor.

This 170g sliced pack delivers the same rich, creamy Norwegian tradition as the larger block but in super-practical form — ideal for lunchboxes, quick snacks, or last-minute cheese platters. A true crowd-pleaser!
