You know what they say, 'carpe diem, cheese the day!' Errmm, right? Anyways, let's face it, cheese makes days better and our cheese of choice for any occasion is Jarlsberg®. 

This slice of Norwegian cheese heritage with its characteristic holes and distinct nutty-sweet flavour is the perfect partner for anything from charcuterie boards to mouthwatering melts. Plus, Jarlsberg® is naturally lactose-free, so our lactose-intolerant friends can enjoy this wonderfully versatile cheese.  

Whether you're a hard core foodie or just someone who enjoys life's simple pleasures (like a sneaky late night slice), Jarlsberg® is like the kind of delightful dinner guest who can get along with anyone and will leave you wanting more. Life's just better with Jarlsberg® and so are your sandwiches.
