"Bonden tillverkar ost."

Translation: The farmer produces cheese.

[alpalrationale]

...himself?

[FunSprint]

Yeah I agree this sounds a bit awkward but I can't think of a better way to say it

[use_her_name]

I was also confused by this one.
Usually, the cheese gets made somewhere else. The farmer just produces milk, which is an even more ambiguous way of putting it. I'd just say that it is 'a dairy farmer'.

[GlennaJo]

Traditionally most dairy farmers produced at least some kinds of cheese as milk was hard to transport in any quantities. Some farmers are returning to small scale 'artisanal' cheese making.

Blessed are the cheese makers

[QuintusMarius]

Well, obviously, this is not meant to be taken literally. It refers to any manufacturers of dairy products.

Swedes: is there a particularly 'Swedish' cheese which I should try?

Snöfrisk, though I think it might be Norwegian but is different from the usual Scandinavian hard cheeses

She says "vunden"

[MarietaBaggins]

Which is the difference between tillverkar and producerar?

[PBe3M6]

This is just a guess, but seeing how tillverkar is constructed (till= to (up to) + verkar (which usually means "to seem" but can also mean "to act/ to operate"), I think tillverkar is more "fabricate" than "produce". There seems to be a more hands-on component, whereas producerar is more general and abstract.

[SoumyaDasoju]

Consider accepting answer with a typo of 'tillvarkar' ? :)

[NadiaHemps]

Sounds painful
