In the 16^th and 19^th centuries, Prastost was produced by the churches, but it is a factory-made Swedish cow’s milk cheese nowadays. This cheese is sometimes referred to as ‘Priest Cheese’, describing the traditional one-time custom of denoting tithes with agricultural goods including milk in Sweden. It has a rich and strong flavour, and can be served with a snack, and soup.
