Lidl Matriket Herrgård cheese

Herrgård is a classic Swedish hard cheese known for its nutty flavor and distinctive small holes. This specific product is a 'Lagrad' (aged) version, typically matured for several months to develop a deeper flavor and salt crystals.

It is part of the Matriket private label range, which is Lidl Sweden's brand for products made with Swedish ingredients and produced within the country. The packaging indicates it is produced for Lidl Sverige KB and carries the Swedish dairy identification mark 'SE 1054 EG', which corresponds to a manufacturing facility in Sweden (specifically linked to Arla's Götene dairy in many instances, though packaged for Lidl).

Lidl, the ultimate owner, is a German global discount supermarket chain that operates thousands of stores across Europe and the United States. While the product itself is deeply rooted in Swedish tradition and local production, the brand's commercial ownership resides with the German Schwarz Group.
