Nokkelost Norvegia Nøkkelost Cheese Slice skivet, 150g

Made from partially skimmed pasteurized cow’s milk, it’s a semi-hard cheese that’s matured for about 3 months, resulting in a balanced, not overly sharp profile. It’s suitable for vegetarians as it uses microbial rennet, and it’s gluten-free. Allergens include milk. 

Norvegia Nøkkelost is a traditional Norwegian semi-firm white cheese produced by TINE, one of Norway’s leading dairy companies. This particular product is a convenient 150g package of pre-sliced cheese (skivet in Norwegian), making it ideal for quick sandwiches, snacks, or charcuterie boards. It has a supple texture that’s medium-firm, with a pale yellow to white interior and a natural rind in its unsliced form.  

The flavor profile is distinctive: it’s mildly spicy and aromatic, thanks to the infusion of cumin seeds (spisskum) and cloves (nellik), which give it a warm, nutty, and slightly tangy taste with hints of sweetness. This spiced character sets it apart from plainer cheeses like Gouda, to which it’s often compared, and makes it a festive choice for open-faced sandwiches (smørbrød) or paired with rye bread, crackers, or even fruits like apples.
