I learned of leipäjuusto through my first Finnish tutor. I like to learn about different culture's foods, and since I am learning Finnish, it seemed like a good idea. However in my small rural town there was no way I would ever find it in stores. So I learned to make it myself, translating several recipes from Finnish into English. I had varying degrees of success.
I volunteer at a food bank, and we had a small box of these to give out. I traded all of my volunteer rations (for volunteering we are allowed to take food as thanks. This was the only thing I took today) for extra of these.
