Ahh.. Your question, I did a thesus on Swedish cheese.. We actually have a rich heritage of cheese that goes back to viking times. The monks who tried to christianise Sweden wrote diaries about the people here and their way of life. And there is the first mention of the cheese. How the Norse had cob shaped cheeses.. And every farm made their own.. This is the beginning of what is then to be known as Swedish household cheese. (Hushållsost) When the country christianised.. A lot of dairy farms paid the church tax with cheese. the Priests cheese would contain more cream and better milk then the househould cheese... So inherently it became different from household cheese. The Priests would store them so they would become a stronger tasting cheese.. Prästost. Priest's Cheese. The monks made their own cheese. Munkost.. (Monks cheese) etcetc. Sweden today has hundreds of cheeses unique to Sweden.. And they are virtually unknown to the rest of the world.. I had thought to make a web series about this on youtube.
I had no idea our cheese was so obscure. I guess one becomes blind to the things that are common to ones own home. But, now that you mention it... we have A LOT of cheese, and most of it really do come from Sweden. Huh.
there are many different types of soft cheese in tubes, it is made from real cheese, which has been finely grated and heated with salt, because it has been heated, pasteurized, it does not need to be kept in the refrigerator, you should store it in the refrigerator after opening the package, but keeps for a few days maybe a week at room temperature after you open it, so it's good camping food
Swede here. I eat eggs with kalles on a BUTTER SPREADED "soft vetekaka" almost everyday, I like it on hardbread aswell. The butter though is what these "trying kalles reaction videos" most often miss. Also, we love dill in Sweden.
Dear britt, we have a very rich cheese culture. Historically a big part of our economy has been based on dairy and with long winters it has primarily been in the form of aged cheeses. There's so many varieties, but the main style is hard cheeses without mould. Some are full fat, others are from skimmed milk. Some are grainy others are closer to swiss type cheese. But we have a very high quality cheese industry today.
ABBA fish products were first, they gave permission to music ABBA. 😊 Knäckebröd is real bread, eggs and Kalles yes (with butter of course) cheese in a tube yes, but prefer "real" cheese. Love Cheese! 🧀 Vegetarian and vegan are great options of course, if they do it well.
Our cheese is top notch! My Greek father asks me to bring him some every time I come to visit😄 Especially Prästost (direct translation: Priest cheese). Very rich and flavourful
If Parmesan is the King of cheese then the Queen of cheese is Västerbotten Cheese! Västerbotten cheese over surströmming or a good Västerbotten cheese pie!
My Swedish soul died a little when you said "do you eat it on real bread?" 😂 To me Knäckebröd is one of the best bread there is. When my parents sent a packet to me when I was studying abroad I was SO happy because I was so tired of the soft bread!
We also have a few hundred different cheese tubes too. Everything from Bacon cheese and whiskey cheddar to brown cheese (mesost) in tubes. It's *real* cheese, it's not velveeta. There's a lot of different "just cheese" brands. You might want to taste Reindeer cheese first.
Most Swedish cheese is the hard variety with mild, creamy and nutty taste, most of them are akin to the Dutch variants, which would explain why Gouda is also very popular here alongside classics like Grevé and Herrgård. Then we have some sharper variants like the acclaimed "Västerbottenost".
In Sweden you can buy mackerel in tomato sauce, in small metal cans. You get a couple of files in each can, they are very popular! Someone had the brilliant idea of throwing these in the blender and make it into a purée, and stuff it in a tube. I wouldn't eat that, I'd just buy them whole 🤣 If you google "Mackerel in tomato sauce" you might see how they look.
Kaviar is Sweden's gift to the Nordics. We eat it in Finland and I think it's even more common in Norway. Finland has the "bread cheese" Norway has the brown cheese but I'm not sure if Sweden has any unique cheeses of their own. I suppose they do but never heard of it either
Västerbotten is popular as well. Very tasty one. And there is ALOT of tube cheese to choose from. Hot Jalapeno, schrimp, crayfish, ham, bacon, diffirent mushrooms cheese, chorizo, reindeer etc etc etc
If I’m out of Crispbread / knäckebröd I can eat kaviar on soft bread .knäckebröd , butter ,cold boiled egg and kaviar . Or warm boiled egg on knäckebread and only butter .
The Abba food company has been around since 1838. The music group Abba just happened to get the same name because they used the initials of the group members.
The crackingbread, kales, egg and a cup of coffee on the side. Chef’s kiss 😋 Or you can just have an egg in a cup and put Kalles all over that thang. Yum yum!
Spreadable liver paté is a very common on breakfast sandwiches. Egg with Kalles kaviar is also a common breakfast item. Kalles is also a bit like vegemite where you either love it or hate it. Kalles even made a commercial were they travelled to Tokyo, L.A. and NYC and offered free samples to people on the street and then only showed people not enjoying the flavour and the ending with the slogan "Kalles, A very Swedish flavour".
Abba was founded in 1838 and registered the name in 1906. So the reason they can use the name is that they were slightly earlier than the band. It was named by the founder's sons when they took over, AktieBolgaget Bröderne Ameln (Share/Stock Company Ameln Brothers, very roughly translated)
We have a lot of cheese in Sweden. Many more different variants than what I feel the UK has, . We also cut our cheese with a osthyvel. Overall, we have a lot of products made from milk. Yes, kalles goes well with all types of bread. Best is almost on a very light fluffy bread. Yes, we also have Kalles on eggs ABBA the company existed long before the ABBA music group. So if someone were to sue someone, it is the company that would sue the music group. But I always think there was some disagreement between them, they deal with very different products. The ABBA company deals with fish, only, but they do a lot with fish. Svennes is a competitor to Kalle's so different companies. If Kalle's is Coca-Cola, then Svennes is Pepsi.
Bread with butter, eggs and kaviar is a staple at breakfast in many Swedish homes, my favorite bread for a Äggmacka is Polarbröd Rågkaka (soft rye flatbread).
Eggs with Kaviar is a classic, doesn't matter if you put it on bread or not. The kind of bread doesn't even matter either, it's good on both knäckebröd and soft bread.
Kaviar....So good. I eat two lingonbread every morning with butter, kaviar and egg. Perfect breakfast. Not on knäckebröd but you can have it yes. The Lingongrova bread I eat is a dark bread.
The good thing about food in tube (Kalles, mayo, mustard, tomato paste, different kinds of cream cheese) is that it doesn’t need to be stored in the fridge and the tube packaging will prolong the shelf life.
And swedens most famous cheese i think is Västerbottensost. It's made only in västerbotten in a Village called busträsk. And it's very good but not cheap 😅
As a Dane, it is almost unnatural to say something nice about the Swedes, but I love Kalle's caviar, so for once I have to say that they have done something good.Kalle's caviar on a piece of French baguette with avocado is heavenly.
As you can see in the comments, we eat kalles on normal bread. I personally want butter also. Abba the foodbrand is used from 1920 and was created as a company name 1906. So its much older then the music group ABBA.
Kalles Caviar is SMOKED all of them but gold takes it to a whole new dimension. Gold really explodes in flavour in the mouth. So darn tasty. Ooohh wait i´m swedish grown up on Kalles LOL
Cheese is one topic where I’ll go ”yeah, we have it and it’s generally very good…. but danes do it a lot better than us.” A good danish cheese smells like 10 gymbags but the taste is orgasmic!
The head office moved to Stockholm in the 1850s and in 1906 the company AB Bröderne Ameln was registered, which was shortened to the Abba brand. In 1928, the company started manufacturing in Kungshamn. The band ABBA was way later so the foodbrand Abba aint infringing at all, the band is more infringing on the name. 😏
Many of these delicious soft cheeses with different ingredients - bacon, shrimp, ham, crayfish etc - is also available in trays which allows you to empty the contents completely. The tubes are handy but sometimes difficult to completely empty
The soft-cheese shrimp thing is just cheese, water, shrimp and melting salts. The melting salts emulsify the cheese with water to get a spreadable thing.
It is not fake cheese it is quality cheese they melt with special salt and then add different flavours. Like shrimp or ham or bacon and other flavours.
ABBA the band, got permission from the Abba fish company to use the name, they also reversed the second B in the ABBA group. According to legend, they got permission under the premiss that they would not embarass the company name.
We have lots of cheese in Sweden, most common are hard cheese, and we use cheeseslicers (Norwegian invention) and not knives like barbarians. We also have cheese in tubes: shrimpcheese, baconcheese, dillcheese, about as many different flavours as potatochips has. Hard cheeses: Västerbotten (used for pie to eat with the crayfish) Prästost(Priest), Grevéost(Count), Herrgårdsost(Manor), Svecia, Hushållsost(Household), Gräddost(Cream) and lots more.
Please note that the Räkost in the video is lactose free. I'm a bit skeptical... I got one tube of ordinary Räkost here, and its ingredients are as follows: 59% hard cheese (yes, real cheese), water, 10% shrimps, emulsifying salts E339 + E452, preservatives E202 + E234. That's it. It's the salts together with the water that make the cheese soft. And the cheese is a blend of different selected classic cheeses.
Egg and Kaviar is the magic combination on bread, but kaviar and cheese is also suprisingly tasty together. I rarely eat kaviar alone on bread. Some people also add chives. Kaviar is an aquired taste. Easier for kids to like it, adults is a hit or miss for the first time taste. But in general, kaviar should be eaten together with something, like mustard, you would never eat it on its own.
Tubed cheese is called mjukost, meaning soft cheese. But a better name would be smältost, meaning melt cheese. There’s nothing fake about it, it’s made from hard cheese that melts from certain salts. It’s really good, and handy when camping etc. You can use it for cooking also, shrimp cheese soup is really good. 😋
I sometimes eat kalles kaviar with eggs but not on Knäckebröd but instead on bread rolls. It's very tasty 😊👍. It's also very common for us Swedes to eat Kaviar with eggs.
The cheese in those tubes are cream cheese. It is a type of cheese that is not matured as long as regular sheese. So it is still made from milk and got of lacto asids from milk. It is basicly sheese that is put in a tube before it goes harder and becomes a regular cheese. And fake cheese is often just difrent kinds of fats ans acids that is combinated to behave as cheese. It is not often used in Sweden at all. But som crappy pizzas thar you buy frozen and just heat in you owen has "cheese like products" aka fake cheese rather than real cheese. If you go to the deli section of an avrage grossery store you often can get nice goumet cheeses from Sweden there.
What does Abba stand for? Abba is an abbreviation of AB Bröderna Ameln and was registered in 1906. However, the company was already founded in 1838 by the brothers' father whose company name, unlike the sons', was never lent to any pop group.
The Swedish 'knäckebröd' = Hard bread - it is REAL bread. It is usually Ryebread. Of course you can put Kaviar on soft bread. But The absolutely best way is with eggs on Hard Bread. The breakfast eggs need this salty combination.
Kalles on half of a boiled Egg, as it is , is SuuuperNice !!! .. add Knäckebröd+Butter..and it`s even better.. Me, I like it with a Glass of cold Apple Juice.. / btw Dwayne, you really need to try the Classic "Tunnbrödrulle med Räksallad".. it`s soooo good...It is a rolled thin Potato-bread filled with a Hotdog/sausage + mushed Potatoes+ Mustard/Ketchup + the odd addative Shrimpsalad..,(Potato bread is a reeealy old kind of bread originaly baked in an old open oven maintained by an open fire.. )
Kalles Original - Lightly Smoked Cod Roe in a Salt and Sugar Brine Kalles Gold - Very Smoked Cod Roe in a Salt and Sugar Brine Kalles Vegan - Smoked Seaweed in a salt and Sugar Brine Svennes Original - Lightly Smoked Cod Roe in a Salt and Sugar Brine Svennes Dill - Now Flavoured with Dill Mästarmakrill I tomatsås - Mackerel in Tomato Sauce a true classic. Not as good as Mackerel in Tomato Sauce in a Tin can, but still good. Räkost - Dwayne... You won't believe this but it's REAL CHEESE, and Real Shrimps, it's a 50/50 it's a divider in Sweden as well, some swear to it, others despise it.
We often eat Kalle's Caviar on a bread called Hönökaka and Knäckebröd. Räkost are best spread on the sandwich. All are good with butter before putting on the toppings.
ABBA is a trademarked brand name, but Björn, Agnetha, Annefrid and Benny got permission to use it as their band name (when their manager got tired of using the fairly cumbersome "Björn, Agnetha, Annefrid and Benny" when talking to press or for bookings)
I like Spiced cheese 🧀 its a type of cheese with added spices. In Swedish, the term usually refers to a gritty hard cheese seasoned with, among other things, cumin, and where cloves and cumin can also be included. 🐭 This type of seasoned cheese is similar to a seasoned version of Swedish cheese, and there are several manufacturers in Sweden. Seasoned cheese is eaten, among other things, at midsummer and on crayfish slices and is also considered an important topping on crisp bread for the festive meal "pea soup and punch".
4:10 don't forget to eat it under some egg. Thats how we eat it here! Not only like bread and Kalles! 17:34 "orkla" owns almost everything that has to do with food, like the caviar, but also pickles, cereals, stuff like that! And some other stuff like soap and detergent. 20:40 the brand ABBA came to be in 1838, and the group ABBA (in Eurovision) came to be in 1972. So who is imitating who really? And a funny thing about it is that they are owned by "Orkla". sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abba_Seafood 22:10 yeah? And the makrill to. 26:16 but you must test it first!!
Its not fake cheese 😆 Maybe thats the problem. They actually use a real hard cheese and make cream cheese out of it. Kaviar on an egg sandwich is really good, i can surely say that most Swedes eat kaviar that way.
Also, ABBA is short for the pop groups members Agnetha Fältskog, Benny Andersson, Björn Ulvaeus and Anni-Frid Lyngstad. It is also short for Aktiebolaget Bröderna Ameln (Ameln Brothers Limited) a brand now owned by Orkla Foods.
Boiled eggs and Kalles Kaviar on any type of preferably buttered bread (including sourdough) is a Swedish breakfast staple. Typical Swedish cheeses include Västerbottenost (named after the geographical region) and Prästost (means vicar or priest cheese). Hard salty cheeses kind of similar to cheddar. There are other cheeses as well.
I love cheese in a tube. There's a lot of different flavours, like plain, ham, salami, reindeer, hot jalapeño, even blue cheese (lovely on ginger snaps), but prawn flavour is a real classic.
On the topic of plastic and recycling; there is a very good video on youtube (with subtitles) on how waste is dealt with in Sweden. It´s called "Rundvandring på Gärstad avfallsanläggning". I believe it would make an interesting sweden reaction video.
The last one.. its lactose free.. All the Kavli cheese on tube is made with real cheese. There are videos here on youtube when people are visiting their factory.
So not only did they pick the bread where it will stand out the most, they are also not using butter, and there are no extra things like egg, or in some cases cheese to balance out the flavours. It is not like the things in the tubes are mild, they pack a punch.
Why do they HATE butter.. no swede would eat anything that they eaten without putting butter first on there crakers or any other sort of bread! I have watched a lot of foreginers trying swedish food.. especialy sandwich food.. where is the butter.. where is the butter?? Soo.. the swedish name for sandwich is "Smörgås", Smör =butter and gås in this context is whats goes along withe bread and butter! So one supose to put someting els on top of that.. in this case egg and Kalles! Or egg and sill!
✋ It’s funny you say no Swede would, but I actually never put butter on anything when eating Kaviar. Kaviar and butter don’t mix well imo. Next time don’t speak for everyone when stating YOUR opinion. Thx
Eggs in half, topped with some seafood (prawn, cray fish e.g.) and a line of Kalles... Maybe some mayo... Nomnom. Nomnomnom! Perhaps on a slice of dark bread... And you get a reason for drinking a snaps!!! I sometimes crave for plain white bread, a good cheese and some Kalles on top. That and a glass of Ice-cold O'boy afterwards. Oh... Those memories...
I only eat Kalles kaviar with eggs, usually on a sandwich. I don’t eat knäckebröd that often though. I like knäckebröd but it’s not very filling. I only eat the original Kalles kaviar - krav obviously if I can find it.
You should try cream cheese with the taste of crayfish. With most cream cheese tubes small pieces of shrimp, bacon, ham or whatever is added in the cream. Crayfish cheese is on the contrary mixed with crayfish juice which adds saltiness and differentiates from the other cream cheese`s. Also if you let cream cheese in tubes dry for a while in room temperature it will actually taste like regular cheese.
Sweden does have a lot of cheese... but my favorite is Hushållsost. Household cheese aka. the common mans cheese. The funny story about it is that the manufacturer wanted a cancel the production of the cheese because the production cost was too high, but the swedes voted to keep it but increase the cost, and it is still here to this day, it's the most perfect mild cheese. Throughout the years the milk has been sourced from multiple locations, for a long time from Denmark since Arla (Manufacturer) is a Danish/Swedish company. But today we can get it with Swedish milk from Östersund. I don't know when our modern recipe that we eat today came to be, but here is a bit of history of our beloved Hushållsost: "For many centuries, all Swedish cheeses were grainy, i.e. had small irregular holes. The household cheese is one of the heirs to this cheese, which dates back to the 12th century or even further back. It was a simple cheese, which could be made on the farms, without special equipment."
Dwayne mentioning Liver Paste... you know Dwayne, Liver Paste is extremely common in Sweden, and no, Kalles and Liver Paste taste nothing alike. Kalles is closer to Marmite in taste... It's sad but true.
Bread (Knäckebröd or otherwise) + Butter + Kalles Kaviar + Eggs = Yum
This is the best way to eat Kalles, second best way is on/with boiled eggs
Yep hard boiled egg on knäcke = win
Or soft bread workes too but hen i perfer fried egg.
Add some chopped onion too and/or dill.
Bread (Knäckebröd or otherwise) + Butter + Kalles Kaviar + Eggs - Eggs = Yum
@@Znurf Why Kalles Kalles Kalles everywhere? The worst brand...
Are they sponsoring these videos and their comment fields as well... ?
Again. Why do these testers hate butter so much? It tastes so much better if you use some butter on the bread.
cuz theyr americans. they use mayo on bread XD
It's in the name - smörgås - you have to have butter on the bread.
Or the fuckin peanutbutter 🤢
Nah, skip that butter. No need when you put Kalles on bread with eggs.
Never EVER in my ENTIRE life heard of someone putting BUTTER BEFORE KAVIAR! Who are you? A psychopath… that’s insane😭

Kalles kaviar on eggs is very common at breakfast and on holidays like christmas and easter :)
Yes that is soooooo good
Yes, an egg without caviar of some sort is not an egg 😃
Why Kalles Kalles Kalles everywhere? The worst brand of caviar...
Are they sponsoring these videos and their comment fields as well... ?
Västerbottensost is amazing.
To the question if we eat caviar and egg and hard bread together, the answer is yes. Caviar can be used on softbread as well with egg.
ABBA fish products were first, they gave permission to music ABBA. 😊

Or just plain lagrad prästost (preferably 18 months or more).
Just as good as Västerbotten in most context.
I like both, but I use them for different purposes. But I guess your point stands.
We have a lot of cheese and kaviar in tubes in Norway as well.And liverpaste is in jars or in a box.A lit of mayo is altso in tubes.

The Abba food company has been around since 1838. The music group Abba just happened to get the same name because they used the initials of the group members.

Yes, just slightly earlier, we ofcourse have had Kalles kaviar In Finland for ages., 👍
And the music group had to ask the food manufacturer for permission to use the same name.
So ABBA in Swedish but SCAB in english.
Känner lite att den svenska versionen låter mer aptitlig xD
Kalles Kaviar on a buttered knäckebröd with slices of hard boiled egg is a perfect combination.
We have a lot of cheese in Sweden. Many more different variants than what I feel the UK has, . We also cut our cheese with a osthyvel. Overall, we have a lot of products made from milk.
Yes, kalles goes well with all types of bread. Best is almost on a very light fluffy bread.
Yes, we also have Kalles on eggs

We have lots of cheese in Sweden, most common are hard cheese, and we use cheeseslicers (Norwegian invention) and not knives like barbarians.
We also have cheese in tubes: shrimpcheese, baconcheese, dillcheese, about as many different flavours as potatochips has.
Hard cheeses:
Västerbotten (used for pie to eat with the crayfish)
Prästost(Priest), Grevéost(Count), Herrgårdsost(Manor), Svecia, Hushållsost(Household), Gräddost(Cream)
and lots more.
Yes, we even have a traditional cheezy dessert: Deep fried cheese with cloudberry jam and deep fried parsley.
Ikea sells Kalles basically everywhere on the planet.
Please note that the Räkost in the video is lactose free. I'm a bit skeptical... I got one tube of ordinary Räkost here, and its ingredients are as follows: 59% hard cheese (yes, real cheese), water, 10% shrimps, emulsifying salts E339 + E452, preservatives E202 + E234.
That's it. It's the salts together with the water that make the cheese soft. And the cheese is a blend of different selected classic cheeses.
Egg and Kaviar is the magic combination on bread, but kaviar and cheese is also suprisingly tasty together. I rarely eat kaviar alone on bread. Some people also add chives. Kaviar is an aquired taste. Easier for kids to like it, adults is a hit or miss for the first time taste. But in general, kaviar should be eaten together with something, like mustard, you would never eat it on its own.
Tubed cheese is called mjukost, meaning soft cheese. But a better name would be smältost, meaning melt cheese. There’s nothing fake about it, it’s made from hard cheese that melts from certain salts. It’s really good, and handy when camping etc. You can use it for cooking also, shrimp cheese soup is really good. 😋
I sometimes eat kalles kaviar with eggs but not on Knäckebröd but instead on bread rolls. It's very tasty 😊👍. It's also very common for us Swedes to eat Kaviar with eggs.
I like shrimp cheese, but I don't eat it regularly, it's more like I bring it if I go out into the forest with some bread. Really convenient 😅
The fish brand ABBA was before the songgroup ABBA. Since the songgroup didn't want to sell fish. They didnt mind the same name.
The cheese in those tubes are cream cheese. It is a type of cheese that is not matured as long as regular sheese. So it is still made from milk and got of lacto asids from milk. It is basicly sheese that is put in a tube before it goes harder and becomes a regular cheese.
And fake cheese is often just difrent kinds of fats ans acids that is combinated to behave as cheese. It is not often used in Sweden at all. But som crappy pizzas thar you buy frozen and just heat in you owen has "cheese like products" aka fake cheese rather than real cheese.
If you go to the deli section of an avrage grossery store you often can get nice goumet cheeses from Sweden there.
What does Abba stand for? Abba is an abbreviation of AB Bröderna Ameln and was registered in 1906. However, the company was already founded in 1838 by the brothers' father whose company name, unlike the sons', was never lent to any pop group.
The Swedish 'knäckebröd' = Hard bread - it is REAL bread. It is usually Ryebread. Of course you can put Kaviar on soft bread. But The absolutely best way is with eggs on Hard Bread. The breakfast eggs need this salty combination.
1:10 we have so many different types of cheese, soft cheese, hard cheese, etc.
Kalles on half of a boiled Egg, as it is , is SuuuperNice !!! .. add Knäckebröd+Butter..and it`s even better.. Me, I like it with a Glass of cold Apple Juice.. / btw Dwayne, you really need to try the Classic "Tunnbrödrulle med Räksallad".. it`s soooo good...It is a rolled thin Potato-bread filled with a Hotdog/sausage + mushed Potatoes+ Mustard/Ketchup + the odd addative Shrimpsalad..,(Potato bread is a reeealy old kind of bread originaly baked in an old open oven maintained by an open fire.. )
Kalles kaviar + egg on bread is VERY normal in sweden.
A warning: sometimes the caviar in the kalles kaviar tastes like fish and not like caviar which makes it really disgusting
Kalles Original - Lightly Smoked Cod Roe in a Salt and Sugar Brine
Kalles Gold - Very Smoked Cod Roe in a Salt and Sugar Brine
Kalles Vegan - Smoked Seaweed in a salt and Sugar Brine
Svennes Original - Lightly Smoked Cod Roe in a Salt and Sugar Brine
Svennes Dill - Now Flavoured with Dill
Mästarmakrill I tomatsås - Mackerel in Tomato Sauce a true classic. Not as good as Mackerel in Tomato Sauce in a Tin can, but still good.
Räkost - Dwayne... You won't believe this but it's REAL CHEESE, and Real Shrimps, it's a 50/50 it's a divider in Sweden as well, some swear to it, others despise it.
We often eat Kalle's Caviar on a bread called Hönökaka and Knäckebröd. Räkost are best spread on the sandwich. All are good with butter before putting on the toppings.
Our cheese in tubes are not fake cheese, its real cheese mixed with water and salt. 🧀💧🧂
ABBA is a trademarked brand name, but Björn, Agnetha, Annefrid and Benny got permission to use it as their band name (when their manager got tired of using the fairly cumbersome "Björn, Agnetha, Annefrid and Benny" when talking to press or for bookings)

Narrator: "But he did not, in fact, put it on the screen."
Those two are so “American gay! 😂 I can’t stop laughing
I like Spiced cheese 🧀 its a type of cheese with added spices. In Swedish, the term usually refers to a gritty hard cheese seasoned with, among other things, cumin, and where cloves and cumin can also be included. 🐭 This type of seasoned cheese is similar to a seasoned version of Swedish cheese, and there are several manufacturers in Sweden. Seasoned cheese is eaten, among other things, at midsummer and on crayfish slices and is also considered an important topping on crisp bread for the festive meal "pea soup and punch".
White bread with butter, Kalles Kaviar and sliced hardboiled eggs is something i highly recommend.
4:10 don't forget to eat it under some egg. Thats how we eat it here! Not only like bread and Kalles!
17:34 "orkla" owns almost everything that has to do with food, like the caviar, but also pickles, cereals, stuff like that! And some other stuff like soap and detergent.
20:40 the brand ABBA came to be in 1838, and the group ABBA (in Eurovision) came to be in 1972. So who is imitating who really? And a funny thing about it is that they are owned by "Orkla". sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abba_Seafood
22:10 yeah? And the makrill to.
26:16 but you must test it first!!
If you want to try a Swedish cheese, the "Västerbottenost" is what you really should try. It's amazing.
Its not fake cheese 😆 Maybe thats the problem. They actually use a real hard cheese and make cream cheese out of it.
Kaviar on an egg sandwich is really good, i can surely say that most Swedes eat kaviar that way.
Also, ABBA is short for the pop groups members Agnetha Fältskog, Benny Andersson, Björn Ulvaeus and Anni-Frid Lyngstad. It is also short for Aktiebolaget Bröderna Ameln (Ameln Brothers Limited) a brand now owned by Orkla Foods.
Boiled eggs and Kalles Kaviar on any type of preferably buttered bread (including sourdough) is a Swedish breakfast staple. Typical Swedish cheeses include Västerbottenost (named after the geographical region) and Prästost (means vicar or priest cheese). Hard salty cheeses kind of similar to cheddar. There are other cheeses as well.
I love cheese in a tube. There's a lot of different flavours, like plain, ham, salami, reindeer, hot jalapeño, even blue cheese (lovely on ginger snaps), but prawn flavour is a real classic.
The shrimp cheese is made of the finest hard cheeses (which they pasteurize), water and arctic shrimp. Not fake!
butter first then spread it out, thats the best way if your not a swed, u can also have sliced cheese on it thats tasty.
Kalles 🍤 is celebrating 70 years 🎉
On the topic of plastic and recycling; there is a very good video on youtube (with subtitles) on how waste is dealt with in Sweden. It´s called "Rundvandring på Gärstad avfallsanläggning".
I believe it would make an interesting sweden reaction video.
The last one.. its lactose free.. All the Kavli cheese on tube is made with real cheese. There are videos here on youtube when people are visiting their factory.
Kalles (standard) is a mild caviar. It’s quite sweet and lightly smoked. There are gourmand brands, Kalles and others, with less sugar and more smoke…
It is not fake cheese!! It is melted Swedish hard cheese (61%) whit water, molten salts and preservatives. Nothing else if It has no flavor added.😊
So not only did they pick the bread where it will stand out the most, they are also not using butter, and there are no extra things like egg, or in some cases cheese to balance out the flavours.
It is not like the things in the tubes are mild, they pack a punch.
Babysteps - maybe try only knäckebröd with butter and egg.
Why do they HATE butter.. no swede would eat anything that they eaten without putting butter first on there crakers or any other sort of bread!
I have watched a lot of foreginers trying swedish food.. especialy sandwich food.. where is the butter.. where is the butter??
Soo.. the swedish name for sandwich is "Smörgås", Smör =butter and gås in this context is whats goes along withe bread and butter! So one supose to put someting els on top of that.. in this case egg and Kalles! Or egg and sill!
✋ It’s funny you say no Swede would, but I actually never put butter on anything when eating Kaviar. Kaviar and butter don’t mix well imo. Next time don’t speak for everyone when stating YOUR opinion. Thx
Yes Kalles + Eggs is a classic combination. I don't eat boiled eggs any other way.
ABBA(Music Group) had to ask for permission to use the name ABBA from ABBA(Food Company).
Eggs in half, topped with some seafood (prawn, cray fish e.g.) and a line of Kalles... Maybe some mayo... Nomnom. Nomnomnom! Perhaps on a slice of dark bread... And you get a reason for drinking a snaps!!!
I sometimes crave for plain white bread, a good cheese and some Kalles on top. That and a glass of Ice-cold O'boy afterwards. Oh... Those memories...
I only eat Kalles kaviar with eggs, usually on a sandwich. I don’t eat knäckebröd that often though. I like knäckebröd but it’s not very filling. I only eat the original Kalles kaviar - krav obviously if I can find it.
You should try cream cheese with the taste of crayfish. With most cream cheese tubes small pieces of shrimp, bacon, ham or whatever is added in the cream. Crayfish cheese is on the contrary mixed with crayfish juice which adds saltiness and differentiates from the other cream cheese`s. Also if you let cream cheese in tubes dry for a while in room temperature it will actually taste like regular cheese.
Sweden does have a lot of cheese... but my favorite is Hushållsost. Household cheese aka. the common mans cheese.
The funny story about it is that the manufacturer wanted a cancel the production of the cheese because the production cost was too high, but the swedes voted to keep it but increase the cost, and it is still here to this day, it's the most perfect mild cheese. Throughout the years the milk has been sourced from multiple locations, for a long time from Denmark since Arla (Manufacturer) is a Danish/Swedish company. But today we can get it with Swedish milk from Östersund.
I don't know when our modern recipe that we eat today came to be, but here is a bit of history of our beloved Hushållsost:
"For many centuries, all Swedish cheeses were grainy, i.e. had small irregular holes. The household cheese is one of the heirs to this cheese, which dates back to the 12th century or even further back. It was a simple cheese, which could be made on the farms, without special equipment."
Cottage cheese is a bit tasteless. Prästost and Västerbotten are better. Or brandy cheese.
The Abba brand is older than the music group, started in 1838
Dwayne mentioning Liver Paste... you know Dwayne, Liver Paste is extremely common in Sweden, and no, Kalles and Liver Paste taste nothing alike.
Kalles is closer to Marmite in taste... It's sad but true.
Just put a little bit of butter inbetween the bread and the caviar and and a hardboild egg sliced on topp.. the best!
