Overview

The Elk House (Älgens Hus) farm in Bjurholm, Sweden, run by Christer and Ulla Johansson, is one of the world's only producers of moose cheese. It has three milk-producing moose,^[2] whose milk yields roughly 300 kilograms of cheese per year; the cheese sells for about US$1,000 per kilogram^[3] (approximately US$455 per pound).

Three varieties of cheese are produced: a rind-style, a blue and a feta-style.

The cheese is served at the Älgens Hus' restaurant,^[1] located in Sweden.^[4]

Moose cheese is also produced by GamEat^[5] from Russia by cheese maker Alexander Fursin.
