Pasture Pride Juusto Baked Cheese: A Delightful Scandinavian Treat

Today, Kevin, Ander, and I are sampling a new cheese brand called Pasture Pride, specifically their Juusto cheese. We found these at Jungle Jim's International Market for $6.99 each. The varieties we picked up include traditional, bacon crumbles, garlic, and Italian spices. Juusto, also known as Juustoleipä or Ostbrod (meaning bread cheese), is a buttery-flavored, flat, and squeaky cheese made in Scandinavia for over 200 years. The cheese is baked in special ovens to create a delicious, toasty crust. Cooking and Tasting Juusto Cheese There are several ways to warm Juusto: in the microwave, oven, or on a gas grill. We chose to heat ours in a frying pan on the stovetop. You fry it for about four minutes per side until it becomes tender and slightly crispy. Here are our thoughts on each flavor: Traditional Juusto Cheese Calories : 110 per serving (660 per block) Taste : Similar to mozzarella cheese sticks, but warmed. It's delicious and has a mild, creamy flavor. Bacon
