Hushallsost or "household cheese" in Swedish is a traditional, creamery, semi-hard cheese made from cow's milk. Since it is made from whole milk, it is has a high fat content, approximately 26%. The texture of the cheese resembles Monterey Jack or a firmer version of the Mozzarella. Hushallsost, a staple on every Swedish farmers table, is said to have originated in the 19th century and is closely related to Port Salut.
