Gotland Blue
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Blå Gotland (English: Gotland Blue, German: Gotland Blau) is or was a cheese made in Sweden by the Arla Foods company in the town of Stånga on the island of Gotland. This cheese is often characterized as being somewhere between strong and mild, containing elements of both types. The colour is a pale yellow, with no holes. It is similar to Emmentaler in texture, but has a flavor reminiscent of stronger cheeses. The cheese is cubed shaped and covered in a blue wax, thus making the cheese take on visual cues from the Swedish flag and national colours. Blå Gotland is sold in Sweden and in Germany. It is virtually unobtainable in the US.
According to the Swedish language Wikipedia article on Gotland Blue the cheese is no longer made and the factory that produced it shut down.[1]
