Overview
editThe Elk House (Älgens Hus) farm in Bjurholm, Sweden, run by Christer and Ulla Johansson, is one of the world's only producers of moose cheese. It has three milk-producing moose,[2] whose milk yields roughly 300 kilograms of cheese per year; the cheese sells for about US$1,000 per kilogram[3] (approximately US$455 per pound).
Three varieties of cheese are produced: a rind-style, a blue and a feta-style.
The cheese is served at the Älgens Hus' restaurant,[1] located in Sweden.[4]
Moose cheese is also produced by GamEat[5] from Russia by cheese maker Alexander Fursin.
