Jarlsberg

For the cheese, see Jarlsberg cheese.

Jarlsberg was a county established in 1673 by Peter Griffenfeld in the central and Northern part of Vestfold, Norway. In 1821 Jarlsberg and Laurvig were joined to form the county Jarlsberg og Laurvigs Amt, renamed Vestfold in 1919. It is the origin of the name of Jarlsberg cheese, a brand manufactured in the region since 1956 based on a local recipe used in the last half of the nineteenth century.

Jarlsberg airfield is a small aerodrome and Jarlsberg race track is a harness racing track at Auli near Tønsberg.
