Samsø is a Danish cow's milk cheese named after the island of Samsø. It was invented in the later 19th century (1870's[1]) when the king of Denmark invited Swiss cheesemakers to teach their skill. It is similar to Emmentaler, although its flavour is milder: gentle and nutty in young cheeses and pungent with sweet and sour notes in older ones. Samsø's interior has a supple, elastic texture; a yellow colour; and a few large, irregular holes. The cheese has goldenrod coloured rind covered with a yellow wax. It is the national cheese of Denmark.
