I tried this today: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leip%C3%A4juusto

It tastes like the love-child of French toast and mozzarella cheese.

Melissa,

 
Thanks for posting the link ... two flavour profiles, that I truly like too ...
 
I have found the Finnish recipe;  for Leipäjuusto or Squeaky Cheese,  which can be prepared from goat milk, reindeer milk and / or cow milk, evaporated milk and ewe milk and here is the recipe:
 
Looks very tasty.
 
 
 
Beatrice is a well known Finnish author of cookbooks. She also has a photo of how the squeaky cheese looks; sort of resembles,  a cross between a provoletta and a lasagne ... with golden bechamel ... Looks wonderful ...
 
 
Have nice wkend.
 
 
Margi.

I'd never had it before, and I thought about getting it from Amazon, but with shipping it was around $20 for one piece. Then I found it in a grocery store for $5, in both plain and flavored with Italian herbs, so I got some. I'm glad I did.

Melissa,

 
Wow ... $ 20.00 USD is alot of money ... However, $ 5.00 USD is a whole different ball game ...
 
The well known Finnish Chef, has a lovely photo; truly looks very tasty ...
 
Enjoy; I am thinking of preparing with goat milk ...
 
Thanks so much for posting ...
Margi.

And the cloudberry jam that traditionally goes with it is even more expensive, so I'm not going to be traditional.

Melissa,

 
Cloudberry marmalade ... Wow ... a cheese and berry combo ... Sounds wonderful. I am planning on copying down Beatrice´s recipe and preparing the shopping list ... It is palate profile quite an interesting and yet versatile recipe ...
 
Of course, since it is Finnish, Squeaky Cheese; they originally have been preparing it with reindeer milk; so I shall give it a shot with goat milk; which the hubby can get fresh from the farms close to his Clinic in Alcarria 82 km. north east ...
 
Thanks for the marmalade idea !!! I think blackberry or rasberry can be lovely too ... and they are in season fresh ...
 
Have lovely Sunday,
Margi.

From what I've read, it's great with tart berries. I'm actually wondering if cranberry sauce would work.

Some other ways I saw mentioned were with tomato sauce, salsa, and in coffee. (also apparently traditional.)

Melissa,

 
Most tart berries work well with bland cheeses ... especially Brie, with its bloomy white rind ...
 
Cranberries or currants should work just wonderfully ... Rasberries too ...

Melissa,
 
Rasberries and black berries are in season here --- and we are 40 degrees latitude, 646 metres above sea level ...
 
What about blue berries ?  Cranberries ?
 
Enquire with your fruit man or lady at Farmer´s Market or where you go regularly ... Perhaps, they can tell you when, u can obtain ... Frozen just are not same !!! As u know ...
 
 
Kind regards.
Margi.

Around here, June-August is berry season. (with about a handful of raspberries in a second crop just before first frost.) We're in Growing zone 5b.
Farmers Market runs June-Sept.

Melissa; what about cherries ? Our main harvest comes i April 1st from Valle de Jerte near La Vera; smoked parika turf. Pears can be lovely too ... Especially the tiny ones !    or granny smith or crab apples. Grapes too. Or go with the marmalades ... Rasberry preserves ... Have u seen Beatrice' s recipe & photo ??! Fabulous.

I think cherries are June-July. Grapes are October. Apples are Sept-Oct.

Melissa - I'm not sure how I missed this, but lingonberry preserves would definitely be "traditional" in Scandinavia, and should be reasonable in price as well readily available (possibly through tour local grocery but certainly via Amazon).
 
Good luck!

Thanks!

This may be strange, but I liked it with the leftover sauce from chicken piccata.
