Juhannusjuusto or makiajuusto (lit. Midsummer cheese or sweet cheese) is an Ostrobothnian dish which is also called red whey and cheese soup.[1] Like the name suggests it is eaten during Midsummer and more widely in the summer season.
The sweet cheese floating in the red whey is eaten as a dessert, usually cold.[1] Sugar can be added according to one's taste. Full-fat milk and rennet are used as ingredients.[2] The cheese takes multiple hours to prepare, thus being mainly served only on special occasions.
