A WORLD OF MELTED CHEESE

Fancy a panini, Reuben sandwich, quesadilla, croque monsieur or Welsh Rarebit? The grilled cheese sandwich or toastie has many names and comes in many forms around the globe. At the heart of them all is the stretchy, rich and tasty deliciousness of cheese.

OUR STORY

Jarlsberg® has grown in popularity since its international launch. It’s success lies in the secret recipe used to manufacture the cheese, the people who make it and their pride in always delivering a product with the same consistent high quality and unique taste.

Jarlsberg® Lite

Jarlsberg® Lite has the same mild, nutty flavor as regular Jarlsberg® with 50% less fat and 30% fewer calories, than regular Swiss cheese. This low-fat variety of Jarlsberg® original has the characteristic large round holes, with a lower fat content – perfect for those days when you crave the sweet, nuttydelights of Jarlsberg® but need to watch your diet! You can add flair to your sandwiches, wraps and recipes without the calories. Jarlsberg® Lite is available in slices, chunks and as a grab–and-go cheese (lite minis). Jarlsberg® Lite is a great alternative for a lighter recipe as it has very good meltability. Jarlsberg® is naturally lactose-free and suitable for vegetarians.

Jarlsberg® Special Reserve

This exclusive variety of Jarlsberg® is ripened for a minimum of 12 months. The ageing process retains the characteristic flavors and aromas, but intensifies them to produce a stronger, more robust cheese. It’s a delicacy on its own and an excellent choice for cheese platters or as a finger food for buffets. It’s also well worth experimenting with as a cooking ingredient, where a stronger flavor is required to give your dish some real zing. Jarlsberg® Special Reserve is available exclusively at Whole Foods Market, nationwide. Jarlsberg® is naturally lactose-free and suitable for vegetarians.
