The magic of Norwegian Brunost
Gjetost Gudbrandsdalen (often simply called Gjetost or Brunost) is a national pride in Norway. It is not a traditional cheese as we know it, but a whey cheese. During preparation, the whey of cow and goat milk is slowly boiled down, together with milk and cream. Due to the heat, the naturally present milk sugars (lactose) caramelize. This process gives the cheese its characteristic brown color and its special, sweet taste that is strongly reminiscent of caramel or fudge.
The texture of the cheese is firm and slightly sticky, making it perfect to slice with a special cheese slicer. In Norway, this brown cheese is traditionally eaten for breakfast, on a fresh slice of bread, a piece of crispbread or on warm, fresh waffles with some red jam. It is the perfect combination of sweet and savory that is incredibly popular with children and adults alike.
Carefully packed and shipped
At GoudaCheeseShop.com we ensure that you can optimally enjoy this Norwegian specialty. We pack the Gjetost very carefully in tight, airtight vacuum packaging, which benefits the shelf life and quality. In addition, your order is always shipped with a cooling pack. This assures you of a fresh and perfect product upon arrival, ready to be sliced and tasted.
Frequently Asked Questions about Gjetost Gudbrandsdalen
Does this brown cheese taste like real cheese?
No, the taste is completely different from regular cheese. Because it is a boiled-down whey cheese, Gjetost tastes mainly sweet, caramel-like and slightly savory, with a subtle aftertaste of goat's milk. It is more like a cross between cheese and caramel fudge.
What is the best way to eat Gjetost?
In Norway, people slice the cheese into thin slices over a fresh slice of bread, toast or crispbread. An absolute must is to melt the cheese over warm, freshly baked waffles. Incredibly delicious for breakfast or as a snack!
Is Gjetost easy to slice?
The cheese is quite firm, but at the same time somewhat sticky due to the caramelized sugars. However, with a good, sharp cheese slicer (preferably without ridges) you can easily shave nice, thin slices of it.
Do you also sell other Norwegian cheeses?
Absolutely! In addition to this Gjetost, we have more delicious specialties from the High North in our assortment. View our complete category Norwegian cheese to discover all our Scandinavian flavors.
