Hushållsost (household cheese) is a Swedish cows’-milk cheese. It is a semi-hard cheese with small granular holes and is made from whole milk which gives it a 26 percent fat content. There is also a version with less fat labeled 17% fetthalt. Hushållsost is produced in cylinders weighing one to two kilograms each which are today wrapped in plastic film before being aged around 60 days on average. The taste is described as mild yet somewhat sour.
