Is it just me--I think Jarlsburg is one of the best "holey" cheeses one can buy.
no it's not just you cw,i love the stuff....better than emmenthal imo.deeelish with some ham in a sandwichIs it just me--I think Jarlsburg is one of the best "holey" cheeses one can buy.
It is a great melting cheese! Good in breakfast or oven casseroles and quiches. And + it does make the best grilled ham and cheese or turkey and cheese grilled sandwiches. I think we should view the holes as a free bonus.

expensive tho'.i mean you're paying for a load of holes too
I know--it is expensive. The DH saw it in the fridge (I picked it up in Montreal when TL and I were at Costco) and I told him that he could NOT open it. He could eat the aged cheddar.
I love Jarlsberg with thinly sliced ham or smoked turkey in a grilled cheese sandwich (made using a good rye or pumpernickel bread) with a smear of lingonberry sauce/jelly to which I've added some grated jalapeno pepper between the cheese and the meat..oh-oh...now I have a craving. Can anyone say "breakfast?" ... Oh crud, there is no bread and there is no thinly sliced ham or turkey. But, I do have to run out later, maybe for lunch!

hmmmm,looks like that one bombed 'arry,i was joking about the holes/cost.....you buy it by weight so the holes don't count?like the one about the health/strength aspect of the holes tatt.....you forgot that it also makes it lighter to carry home!!The holes make it a health food, right, as there is less cheese there? lol
If you like your cheese strong, look for bigger holes. The bigger the eyes, the stronger the cheese.
but cw,the holy grail(only small holes tho')....esrom....all kneel to the sound of it's name!!I find Jarlsberg melts better, is somewhat sweeter, and I don't know, there is something else about it, that makes me like it better than the other "holey" cheese (although, I do like a good Swiss cheese). Or, maybe it just appeals to my Scandinavian genetic make up!
I'll take one of those please. Oh and some ice tea.yup, gonna be a jarlsburg, and black forest ham sammich, bing cherry compote, on butter pressed sourdough, with some whole grain mustard on the side for lunch.
