The best cheese you’ve probably never heard of is definitely Juusto, or juustoleipa as it’s called back in its native homeland of Scandinavia. Juusto (hoo-stow) is having a moment right now—and rightfully so—because it’s so dang delicious. Unlike juusto made in Finland where they’ve made it for over 200 years using reindeer milk, juusto in Wisconsin is made with cow’s milk. Juusto is often called “bread cheese” because it’s baked in special ovens, which gives this cheese its signature caramelized, crusty exterior. The taste is buttery, the texture is silky smooth, and when you warm it in an oven, skillet, or microwave until it glistens, the taste is flat-out mind-blowing. For the keto dieters out there, one of the major selling points for warm juusto is that you can have one of the best grilled cheese sandwiches but without the bread. Dip it in your morning or afternoon coffee like the Finns—yes, you read that right—or serve it with maple syrup, beef sticks, strawberries, cornichons, or sprigs of thyme. Pair it with a crisp Belgian ale or something sweeter like a hard cider.
