Prästost (priest cheese) is a Swedish cheese with historical roots in Sweden’s one-time custom of paying tithes with agricultural goods including milk. It was common for the church to make cheese from this milk from the 16th though 19th centuries. Today this style of cheese once produced in churches across Sweden is factory-made from pasteurized cow’s milk. Prästost is sometimes soaked or cured in whisky or other spirits; Saaland Pfarr is one such whisky-soaked variant.
