The history of Jarlsberg cheese can be traced back to the middle 1850s. Its creator, a local farmer and pioneer in Norway's dairy industry, Anders Larsen Bakke produced the cheese in the Våle village in Vestfold County, 80km south of Oslo.  

The milk from cows grazing on the uplands summer pastures is used to make this cheese which is then matured for a minimum of 100 days in the fjord region of Norway.
