Rød sau

Rød Ku is a semi-firm red cheese that matures for 3–5 months. It began life solely as a raclette cheese until we discovered it could be used for so much more. This is a so-called 24/7 cheese that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert. Of course, it is also excellent for making Raclette dinner with as it has particularly good melting power. The cheeses weigh approx. 3–4 kg and is regularly washed with brine during maturation so that it forms the characteristic red putty crust that has given the cheese its name. We are proud of the award Supergold during the World Cheese Awards in Bergen 2018. This means that Rød ku received a gold medal in the World Cheese Championship and ended up among the world's 75 best cheeses. Not bad for a newcomer! Rød Ku also recently received a silver medal during the NM in Gardsost (they are a little stricter than international judges) and the cheese also has a specialty label for unique taste from Matmerk.

Brilliant Brie

Our Brien is inspired by the French cheese Brillat Savarin, which is a triple-cream white mold cheese. The triple cream means that plenty of extra cream has been added to it for extra creamy texture and extra good taste. The cheeses weigh around 250 g and mature for a minimum of 10 days in a humid environment before they are ready for sale. The cheese can be successfully matured for up to 6 weeks from the production date for a more mature flavor impression. Brilliant Brie is for sale at selected delicatessens and will be launched at Meny in March 2020.

Cheddar

Storbondens stolthet!
Inspirert av britisk ”farmhouse” cheddar-produksjon i Somerset, og en stor kjærlighet til disse ostene, ønsket vi å lage vår egen variant her på Hadeland. Med utgangspunkt i melk fra våre egne kyr som beiter på Hadelands frodige beitemarker, skjønte vi at dette kunne bli bra! Håndtverks-cheddar er noe helt annet enn industriell burger-cheddar, og ostene blir fremstilt ved en omstendelig prosess kalt «cheddaring». Kort fortalt innebærer dette å snu, vende og presse ostemassen i biter oppå hverandre før den så males opp, blir tilsatt salt og så presset i form. Dette gir et produkt som egner seg til lagring i 12–24 mnd. Ostene blir pakket inn på tradisjonell måte i bomullsklede og smurt inn med svinefett, så det er ikke noe bullshit. Resultatet blir en ost med fast struktur, men med en smooth munnfølelse og komplekse fruktige og nøtteaktige aromaer. Cheddaren nytes best i grådige chunks til et glass aperitiff, men gir også nydelig smak ved gratinering eller revet over pasta. Osten fikk nylig bronsjemedalje under NM i Gardsost, og inntar spesialitetsmerket for unik smak fra Matmerk.
