What is Gjetost?

What is Gjetost? - Rebel Cheese

Gjetost (pronounced "yay-toast") is not your typical cheese. A type of brunost, or “brown cheese,” this Norwegian cheese stands out for its sweet, caramel-like flavor. It’s traditionally made by boiling down whey — the liquid left after curdling and straining milk — until the natural sugars caramelize. The result? A firm, fudgy cheese with a flavor that’s rich, sweet, and completely unexpected.

We’re so excited for you to try our take on this Scandinavian classic. Our Cinnamon Cognac Gjetost is 100% vegan, firm yet silky-smooth, and bursting with deep caramel notes. It’s 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 winter cheese boards. Whether it’s your first taste or a long-awaited return, now’s the  perfect time to experience its rich, caramel magic. Try it now in our Awards Night Watch Party Boxes!
