Regular price £4.54 GBP Sale

Gjetost (also known as Gudbrandsdalen Mesost) is a traditional Norwegian brown cheese made from a blend of goat’s and cow’s milk whey. Slowly boiled until the natural sugars caramelise, Gjetost develops its iconic light brown colour, fudge-like texture, and a sweet, tangy flavour that’s unlike any other cheese.

Produced by Tine, this semi-hard cheese has a fat content of around 30% and is known for its smooth, creamy mouthfeel and a rich taste often described as sweet caramel with a slight tang.

Serving Suggestions:

  • Shave thin slices over hot toast or waffles

  • Pair with coffee for a classic Norwegian breakfast

  • Enjoy at Christmas with spiced fruit cake

  • Use in a sweet fondue or game sauce for a unique culinary twist

Loved for its versatility and long shelf life, Gjetost was a staple on long sea voyages and remains a cultural favourite in Norway today.
