What is Fynbo?

Fynbo is an off-white or tan-colored Danish cheese made of cow's milk, which has a taste reminiscent of buckwheat. Usually forms into the shape of a cylinder cheese with a cylinder with a cylinder of 4 pounds (1.8 kilograms) and for several months, while maintaining one -third of fat. The cheese came on the Danish island of Fyn, the third largest of the Danish islands, and is still produced there since 2011. It is characterized as semi-hard cheese, which is only one level below the most difficult types of cheeses classified as hard. Danish cheeses come in many types and Fynbo is one of the local favorite, although it can be difficult to find in other countries like the US. Sometimes, compared to another Danish cheese called Samso, also named after Denmark much smaller than Fyn. Samso cheese is slightly elastic, has some holes like Swiss cheese and is also made of cow's milk.

Although Fynbo is exported to the international market and sellswith other types of cheeses, usually occurs only in gourmets' trembling stores. Cheese experts compare this with the taste of Monterey Jack cheese, which is recommended as a replacement in recipes that require Fynbo. Because many Danish cheeses are mild and creamy taste and texture, they can often be replaced in recipes for themselves. In Denmark, it is commonly consumed in salads and as slices in sandwiches as a popular type of cold cheese.

Rennet cheeses have the longest durability of cheese varieties. The harder the cheese, usually the longer it can be safely stored. Because Fynbo is a semi-hard cheese and is often tasted with brine, which acts as a preservative, can be stored for a long period of time.

cheese production in Denmark was traced back to 3,000 BC and since 2003 the production of 327,000 tons per year, of which 77% were exported. Germany is the largest importer of cheese in the EU in general and the largest Danish export market of cheese, followed by Sweden and the UK. Despite the relatively small sizeSti Denmark among his European neighbors has been one of the five best cheese exporters in the world, including Germany, France, the Netherlands and Italy since 2005.

It is interesting that the names and recipes of some cheeses are internationally protected by the 1951 stress. Fynbo Cheese, formerly called the Danish Gouda Opstukken until 1952, falls within the group of 30 other cheese names in the global market, which is assigned to mutual permission. This means that the name can be used for domestic or international exports for FYNBO when it is produced in other nations. Only seven countries agreed to protect the stress for the origin of the cheese, but which exist in the European Union.
