Description

Light Jarlsberg cheese is a variety of the classic Jarlsberg cheese, known for its soft texture, slightly sweet flavor, and delicate aroma. This semi-hard cheese has its roots in Norway, where it is traditionally produced, inspired by Swiss cheeses with characteristic holes, which provide a unique experience in every bite.

Light Jarlsberg cheese offers the same flavor-enhancing qualities as its original version, but with a reduced fat content, making it a healthier option for those who wish to enjoy cheese without excess calories. It is ideal for melting in preparations such as sandwiches, gratins, omelets, or simply to accompany cheese boards.

Among its nutritional properties, it stands out for being a good source of protein and calcium, essential for bone health and muscle maintenance. Furthermore, its lower fat content contributes to a balanced diet.

In different Hispanic American countries, Jarlsberg cheese may be known simply as Swiss cheese or cheese with holes, although the term light Jarlsberg is used to clearly identify this low-fat version.
