Imagine a cheese that spent its youth maturing in the salty sea air of the Danish coast and its adulthood being gently kissed by cold woodsmoke. Thise Smoked North Sea Cheese is a mature, crystalline powerhouse that balances the nutty sweetness of a Gouda with a savory, campfire finish. It is the best "rugged" smoked cheese for a host who wants something more sophisticated than a basic smoked cheddar. It’s filled with those tiny, crunchy salt crystals that pop on the tongue, creating a textural "firework show" that pairs perfectly with a dark beer or a smoky whiskey. The Recipes Recipe #1: The "Viking" Potato Gratin Grate this cheese into a gratin of thinly sliced potatoes and leeks. The smoke and salt replace the need for heavy seasoning, creating a bold, soul-warming family side dish. Recipe #2: Smoked North Sea Burger Melt Place a thick slab of this cheese on a grilled burger topped with caramelized onions. The salty-sweet-smoky trio creates a restaurant-quality BBQ experience at home. The Appetizers Appetizer #1: The "Smoky Peak" Shards Break the cheese into natural, irregular chunks and serve with tart apple slices. The crunchy cheese and crisp fruit are a legendary pairing. Appetizer #2: Smoked Cheese & Dark Rye Place a slice on a piece of toasted dark rye bread with a dollop of lingonberry jam. A sophisticated Nordic appetizer that looks as good as it tastes.
