subtitleFirm. Sweet. Toffee-like.

The renowned Norwegian delight also affectionately known as Gjetost, often referred in Norway as simply Brunost (brown cheese).

In the artful craft of cheese-making, Gjetost stands apart with a unique twist: a curd that undergoes a masterful transformation. Unlike traditional cheeses, the curd in Gjetost experiences a scalding process, raising it to higher temperatures.

This culinary alchemy results in a captivating symphony of flavours, where the natural sugars in milk are elegantly caramelised.

The outcome? A delectable cheese that boasts an irresistible toffee-like essence.

Experience the exquisite fusion of tradition and innovation with Gjetost  on Norwegian waffles – the epitome of Norwegian culinary craftsmanship.

Ingredients:

Sweet rennet whey (milk), pasteurised goats' milk, pasteurised cream (milk) and milk. Concentrated by boiling.

Allergens are shown in bold.

250g.
