What is Gjetost?

Gjetost (pronounced "yay-toast") is not your typical cheese! As a type of brunost (brown cheese), this Norwegian classic stands out for its sweet, caramel-like flavor. Traditionally, it’s made by boiling down whey—the liquid left after curdling and straining milk—until the natural sugars caramelize. The result? A firm, fudgy cheese that’s as unique as it is delicious.

This year, we’re thrilled to introduce our very own version of Gjetost! Our take is 100% vegan, firm, silky-smooth, and bursting with rich caramel notes. It’s unlike anything you’ve tried before, and we hope you love it as much as we do!

Perfect on toast, paired with fruit, or as the centerpiece of a cheese board, this sweet yet savory cheese will surprise and delight you. Get it exclusively in our December Fromagier, available from December 1st, 2024!
