Tegel is a hard-pressed "scalded" Swedish brick cheese influenced by the handmade bricks manufactured by the Almnäs brick factory from the late 18th century onwards. It has a unique rind with footprints of a child, reminiscent of real footprints left behind by the farmworkers on the brick floor. Besides the cheese, even today, every clay brick manufactured at Almnas has a child's footprint imprinted on it.
Tegel is a huge cheese, weighing approximately 27 kg. It has a rustic, brick red washed-rind achieved by smearing it with a bacterial culture called Brevibacterium linens. The interior paste is smooth, with occasional small holes and cracks. The color varies from ivory to straw, depending on the season when it is made. It has a sweet, fruity aroma, reminiscent of butterscotch, with a slightly gritty mouthfeel. The rind, at times, smells of orange or pineapple. Almnäs Brick is aged between 18 and 30 months.
