Juustoa, also known as Finnish squeaky cheese or "leipäjuusto," is a traditional Finnish dairy product made from cow's, goat's, or reindeer milk. Its name comes from the unique squeaking sound it makes against your teeth when chewed. This mild, slightly tangy cheese is typically baked, giving it a caramelized surface and a firm, chewy texture. Juustoa is often served warm and paired with cloudberry jam or coffee, making it a versatile treat in Nordic cuisine. Nutritionally, Juustoa is rich in protein and calcium, supporting muscle and bone health. However, it can be relatively high in saturated fat and sodium, so moderation is key. Its simplicity and minimal processing make it a wholesome option for those seeking satisfying, natural foods, while its unique flavor and texture offer a delightful cultural experience. Ideal for grilling or snacking, Juustoa embodies a flavorful slice of Finnish heritage.
