What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? All the Buzz: Norwegian Jarlsberg Cheese Spread! Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don’t. Jarlsberg cheese originated in Norway as a buttery mild cow’s milk cheese with a sweet nutty flavor. In some photos it may appear similar to Swiss cheese, full of holes, but in essence it is much smoother and richer. Don’t believe me? Order a grilled cheese sandwich made with semi-soft imported Jarlsberg cheese sometime and try not to faint when you are asked to pay a much higher price for this gooey better-than-generic extravagance.
NORWEGIAN JARLSBERG CHEESE SPREAD
Ingredients:
4 ounces Neufchâtel cheese
4 ounces Jarlsberg cheese, shredded
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons red onion, chopped
1 can (4 ounce size) stuffed green olives, sliced
Sea salt, to taste
Cracked black pepper, to taste
1/4 cup chives, chopped
1/4 cup pecans, finely chopped
Instructions:
Mix together Neufchâtel cheese, Jarlsberg cheese, and mayonnaise until well blended. Stir in red onion and green olives. Add sea salt and cracked black pepper to taste. Form into a log. Wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate 1 hour. Roll cheese ball in chopped chives and pecans bits before serving. Spread into crackers or bagel chips.
Now that sounds and looks delicious!

It is worth giving yourself a taste if the cheese is as exquisite as they preach it. We have the recipe, just missing the cheese.
