<\/a><\/p>\nThere are as many as 2,000 varieties of cheese in the world\u2014something for every taste, toasted cheese,<\/span><\/a> and fondue pot.<\/span><\/a> Just stroll into any cheese shop<\/span><\/a> in Paris worth its fromage,<\/i> and you\u2019re likely to find scores\u2014if not hundreds\u2014of varieties of French cheese alone. But if you\u2019re looking for something truly unique in the realm of fermented curd, you have to go to Bjurholm, Sweden to sample the moose cheese made by \u00c4lgen Hus<\/a>.<\/span> That\u2019s right, \u00c4lgen Hus (\u201cElk House,\u201d because moose are also known as elk there) is the world\u2019s only producer of cheese made from moose milk. The unusual ingredient and sole source makes this Swedish cheese the world champion for rarity. Now, a polite warning to artisanal entrepreneurs who might be thinking of venturing into the Maine woods<\/a> to milk a moose and make your own moose cheese: the three (yes, just three) milk-making cow moose at \u00c4lgen Hus\u2014Gullan, Haelga, and Juna by name\u2014are domesticated, whereas wild moose are formidable, 1,000 pound animals that definitely haven\u2019t signed up for cheese-making.<\/p>\n
