Gotland Blue (, ) was a cheese by the Arla Foods company in the town of StÃÂ¥nga on the island of Gotland in Sweden. This cheese is often characterized as being somewhere between strong and mild, containing elements of both types. The colour is a pale yellow, with no holes. It is similar to Emmentaler in texture, but has a flavour reminiscent of stronger cheeses. The cheese is cube shaped and covered in a blue wax, thus making the cheese take on visual cues from the Swedish flag and national colours. BlÃÂ¥ Gotland was sold in Sweden and in Germany. The cheese is no longer made as the factory in StÃÂ¥nga shut down in 2004.
