📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Västerbotten cheese is a hard cheese made since the 19th century in the village of Burträsk in northern Sweden, with a slight bitterness and deep savoriness. A pie packed with it is essential at the August crayfish party, the kräftskiva. It's tasty even cold, so it's good for potlucks too.

🌆 Where it's eaten: On an August night, paper lanterns hang in a lakeside garden as everyone gathers around platters of bright red crayfish and cheese pie, singing and toasting.
