Learn the story of Västerbottensost® – from the dairymaid’s wonderful discovery to a piece of Swedish food tradition.

The storehouse is the very heart of the dairy – where the cheeses are left to rest for at least 14 months to develop their unique character.

The year 2022 marks the 150th anniversary of the creation of Västerbottensost® by Ulrika Eleonora Lindström. We are proud to pass her legacy on to new generations of cheese lovers around the world – so that they too may enjoy a piece of Swedish food tradition.

Discover the story of the skilled dairymaid Ulrika Eleonora Lindström who created Västerbottensost® in Burträsk back in 1872.
