The first cheese of the type Präst® was made in Småland in the 18th century. The farmers used the cheese as a means of payment when they had to pay taxes. The tax would make up one tenth of annual production. The finest cheese was given to the priest.

It was a little fatter than other cheeses and that was because you poured an extra splash of cream into the cheese milk to make the priest kind-minded. The older name priest cheese has been replaced by the name Präst® after the cheese was registered as a trademark in 2001.

When the cheese is well stored, it gets sweetish flavors and the texture can be a bit crunchy. It is due to crystallized protein that sits in the air holes.
