Samsoe is a semi-hard Danish cheese named after the island of Samsø in Denmark. It is made from cow’s milk and has a mild, nutty flavor with a smooth, elastic texture. Samsoe cheese typically features small, irregular holes (eyes) throughout the body and is often compared to cheeses like Emmenthal or Havarti, though it has its own distinctive, buttery character. It is aged for several weeks and is commonly used in sandwiches, cheese platters, or melted in cooking.
