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.
