  • Wikipedia Article About Gjetost on Wikipedia Made from a combination of goat's and cow's-milk Whey, this Norwegian cheese is faintly sweet and caramel colored. The texture can range from semi-firm like fudge to the consistency of stiff peanut butter. The brown color and sweetness result from slowly cooking the milk until its sugars caramelize. Gjetost is particularly good spread on dark bread. Scandinavia's mysost cheese (also called primost) is made exclusively from cow's milk in exactly the same way and tastes almost identical to gietost.

Geitost, also known as brunost (lit. brown cheese) and gjetost, is a firm, brown cheese made from the whey of goat's milk. It originated in Norway. It has the appearance of caramel and a slightly sweet flavour. Mysost is very similar, the only difference being that it is made from cow's whey rather than goat's. There is a variety of geitost called ekte geitost (lit. real goat cheese) which does not contain any cow's milk but rather is made with 100% goat's milk. In Swedish, these cheeses are collectively known as mesost. The word geitost consists of 'geit' and 'ost', Norwegian for 'goat' and 'cheese'. The name brunost means 'brown cheese', while the specific type gudbrandsdalsost means 'cheese from the Gudbrandsdal valley'. Cow or goat milk and cream is added to whey. The mixture is boiled carefully for several hours so that the water evaporates. The heat turns the milk sugar into caramel which gives the cheese its characteristic taste.
