Get to know the history of Västerbottensost®
The Mereorite deposit is believed to have made the soil around Burträsk, where the cows graze, extra calcareous and fertile. Perhaps that’s why Västerbottensost’s unique flavour can only be created here.
The story of Västerbottensost begins in 1872, when the dairywoman Ulrika Eleonora Lindström created the mythical recipe for the cheese we still enjoy today. It is said that it was a wooing milkmaid that made her miss the yoke. The cheese was considered a failure at first, but when it was tasted, the wonderful flavour was discovered! Whatever the truth of the story, we can be sure that it was Ulrika Eleonora who took advantage of the new knowledge and bestowed it on posterity. Thank you Ulrika Eleonora!
