Fyrgbom

Appearance and Taste
During the four-month aging process, the cheese develops a crusty, brown, inedible rind, but the cheese within is silky and cream-coloured. While it is soft, it has enough elasticity to maintain shape beautifully, and it slices perfectly. The flavor is hearty, but it holds a distinct sweetness that can complement meat or stands alone.

Uses
Fyrgbom pairs very well with bread. It also melts evenly and beautifully. Historically, it was not uncommon for mountain ranchers to eat sandwiches of Fyrgbom at least once a day. In recent years it has also become popular across the nation for making melts.

Origin
Fyrgbom is a mild cheese made from the milk of cows grazing high above the Grys River Valley in the Twilight Mountains. They graze only on the wild clover and sweetgrass fields of the mountains, leading to a cheese that is surprisingly sweet. Originally, a tart, fruity cheese known as Fyrg, using milk from the wild goats of the mountains, was a favourite of the pioneers of the Twilight range. The introduction of cows to the region, however, led to the creamier, more savoury cheese Zybodia knows today. Fyrg cheese does still have its own following, but the taste is more niche.
