Aland cheese with a history
The Kastelholm cheese featured on the stamp got its name from the only medieval castle in Aland, located in Sund.
The name is thought to originate from a traditional type of double cream cheese which was produced in Sund in the 1500s.
Since then, cheeses with the name Kastelholm have been produced to some extent.
In the 1920s, for example, the Kastelholm double cream cheese won several awards in a number of quality competitions. |
