Raejuusto is a fresh cow's milk cheese from Finland. The name means granular cheese, and the curds look like small soft grains in a light dressing, much as cottage cheese does. It is not aged, and it has no rind at all. The taste is mild, milky, and a little tangy, with a clean level of salt. People in Finland eat it plain, in salads, and as a garnish, so it is an everyday cheese rather than a special wheel.
