means A mild, nutty, semi-soft Norwegian cow's-milk cheese marked by large round holes, similar in style to Swiss Emmental.
from Named for the Jarlsberg estate and former county in southeastern Norway, near Tønsberg. The place-name itself combines 'jarl' — the Old Norse word for a nobleman or earl, the same root that gives English 'earl' — with 'berg,' meaning mountain or hill. The cheese is a modern product: it was developed in the 1950s at the Agricultural University of Norway, reviving and refining an older local cheese tradition, and took the lordly estate's name for the new recipe.
