About Ost

Ost, the Swedish word for cheese, is a versatile and flavorful dairy product integral to Scandinavian cuisine. Made from cow, goat, or sheep’s milk, it comes in various types, including Västerbotten, Prästost, and Herrgård, each offering unique textures and tastes. Rich in calcium and protein, ost supports bone health and muscle development, making it a nutritious addition to meals. However, it can also be high in saturated fat and sodium, so moderation is key for maintaining heart health. Ost features prominently in dishes like smörgås (open-faced sandwiches) and gratins, adding creamy depth and savory richness. Whether aged for bold flavor or mild for everyday use, ost remains a cherished staple in Swedish homes and kitchens worldwide.
