Gjetost (Brunost)

Whey cheese from NorwayIn our shop

Not strictly a cheese at all, brunost is made by boiling whey until its milk sugars caramelise. The result is a dense, fudgy, brown block with a sweet, caramel flavour and a slight tang. Norwegians slice it thinly with a cheese slicer and eat it on bread or waffles. The most surprising cheese I sell.
