Grevé

Grevé is Swedish cow's milk cheese, similar to Emmental. Its fat content is 30-45%.^[1] It was first produced in 1964 in Örnsköldsvik.^[2] The name Grevé does not mean anything; the cheese was created with the working name alpost (alp cheese) and when finished they wanted a better name that sounded similar to 'exotic' Swiss cheese names, for example Gruyère.^[3] (Without the accent grevé becomes greve - which translates to count or earl - and some swedes thinks that is what the name refers to)
