Introduction
About the Kaffeeost
This is a northern Scandinavian tradition where coffee is poured over a cube of cheese. Bread cheese (Finnish: leipäjuusto, Swedish: brödost) is used for this, which in Scandinavia is usually made from reindeer milk.
Among the Sami people in Lapland, but also in some regions of Finland, Norway, and Sweden, this drink is served as a welcome ritual.
