Here's a post about Finnish dairy products. I've divided them into three categories whether they are liquidy, a bit thicker, or cheese. You can check out more vocabulary and product pictures for example here: https://www.valio.fi/tuotteet/.
Nestemäisiä - Liquidy
- maito - milk
- rasvaton - fat free (light blue carton)
- kevyt - light (1,5, % fat, blue carton)
- täysmaito - 'full' milk (3,5 % fat, red carton)
- piimä - sour milk, butter milk
- kerma - cream (Kuohukerma for everything, vispikerma for whipping and piping cakes.)
- ruokakerma - cooking cream, literally food cream
Paksumpi koostumus - A bit thicker consistency
- jogurtti - yoghurt
- viili - cultured milk product, slimy consistency. Try for a breakfast!
- kermaviili - a creamy viili, but not slimy. Often used when making dips.
- smetana - sour cream that has 42 % fat. (Read an article about different sour creams.)
- (maito)rahka - quark or curd, rich in protein. Rahka can also be flavoured.
- ranskankerma, crème fraîche - sour cream
- jäätelö - ice cream
Juustoja - Cheeses
- juusto - cheese
- raejuusto - cottage cheese (A fun fact: rae is a hail. Mökki is a cottage.)
- tuorejuusto - cream cheese, literally fresh cheese. Notice that kermajuusto is cheese made out of cream.
- sulatejuusto - spreadable cheese that is slimier than tuorejuusto
- kotijuusto, leipäjuusto - squeeky cheese (Koti is home and leipä is bread.)
- homejuusto - cheese that is produced with cultures of mold, home
- sinihomejuusto - blue cheese
- juustoraaste - grated cheese
