What is Gjetost?
Dec 04, 2025
Gjetost (pronounced "yay-toast") is not your typical cheese. A type of brunost, or βbrown cheese,β this Norwegian classic stands out for its sweet, caramel-like flavor. Itβs traditionally made by boiling down whey β the liquid left after curdling and straining milk β until the natural sugars caramelize. The result? A firm, fudgy cheese with a flavor thatβs rich, sweet, and completely unexpected.
Weβre so excited for you to try our take on this classic. Our version is 100% vegan, firm yet silky-smooth, and bursting with deep caramel notes. Itβs unlike anything else we make, and we hope you love it as much as we do!
Perfect on toast, paired with fruit, or as the star of your holiday cheese board, this winter favorite is only available in ourΒ Holiday Entertainer, Holiday Host Hero, and December Fromagier. Once itβs gone, itβs gone β donβt miss your chance to try it!
