Tegel is a raw cow’s milk farmstead cheese, produced in square tablets and aged 18 months at Almnäs Bruk in central Sweden. It is named for and reminiscent of the handmade bricks produced at the property during the industrial period. The bricks were produced from the property’s own clay and sun-dried in the fields. Many have preserved the footprints of the workman and their children, which represented on Tegel's label.
Tegel features bold and more complex flavors with salty and sweet melding together in a balanced way, with a touch of grassiness. It gets sweeter and more crystally with age, you may even taste some pineapple.
Almnäs Bruk is an 8,800-acre farm, founded by monks in 1225. In 2008 Hans Srller converted the estate's former distillery into a farmstead dairy.
