Details

Delight customers with a unique, sweet cheese offering from the green, grassy valleys of Norway with this imported Norwegian gjetost cheese! This one-of-a-kind, caramelized, cow's milk cheese originates in Norway from the picturesque Gudbrandsdalen valley. This is where more than 130 years ago, cream was added to the whey and cooked down until it became a sweet and salty paste. The paste was used to create a sweet, brown, full-fat cheese that became popularized due to its decadent, smooth flavor. This dense cheese block has a silky, fudgy texture that allows it to be sliced for a cheese board or shaved onto bread or waffles for a sweet, flavorful garnish.

The deep butterscotch flavor of this cheese pairs perfectly with coffee or dark beers like stouts and porters for an indulgent, sweet after-dinner snack. Or create an exciting specialty cheese fondue accompanied by dippers like pretzels, crackers, cubed pear, and halved strawberries. You can also use this cheese to make dessert-like grilled cheese sandwiches on brioche bread with sliced green apple, served with a creamy Irish stout. This cheese is even used to add richness and depth to sauces and meaty, game-based stews in Norway. No matter how you utilize this cheese, you're sure to wow your guests with its unique flavor!

LOVE this cheese to slice for a charcuterie, put with an apple as an appetizer, or melt with sour cream as a sauce over chicken. FABULOUS!!! The larger size is perfect for catering instead of the tiny ones we used to buy in the grocery store or from our food distributor.
