Matured for eight months, Emperor's cheese is made from both goat and cow milk. The ripening process gives Emperor's cheese a unique flavour, with goat milk giving the cheese its sharpness and cow milk its lusciousness. The cheese takes its name from Keisarintie (Emperor's Road), the road along which Juustoportti's showcase cheese dairy is located. Emperor's cheese has been voted the public favourite in cheese competitions several times over the years.
Juustoportti's specialty cheeses, which are matured for a long time, are made by hand in the showcase cheese dairy at the Jalasjärvi service station. There is also a genuine cheese cellar in the same courtyard where these specialty cheeses made from Finnish milk are matured. These specialty cheeses are particularly suited for the cheese tray and can be enthusiastically enjoyed as they are, straight from the box. In cooking and baking, specialty cheeses add flavour and richness. Go ahead and experiment to find your own favourite.
