Blå Gotland, (Gotland Blue in English, Gotland Blau in German) is a cheeese made in Sweden by the Arla Foods company. The cheese is based on a recipe from Gotland, 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 flavor remeniscent of stronger cheeses. The cheese is cubed shaped and covered in a blue wax, thus making the cheese take on visual cues from the Swedish flag and national colours. Blå Gotland is sold in Sweden and in Germany. It is virtually unobtainable in the U.S.
