Gjetost is a traditional Norwegian brown cheese famous for its distinctive sweet caramel flavour and smooth, fudge-like texture. Made by slowly caramelising whey, milk and cream, this unique cheese develops its characteristic golden-brown colour and rich sweetness.
A national icon in Norway, Gjetost is traditionally served in thin slices on bread, waffles, or crispbread, and pairs beautifully with fruit or warm toast. Its sweet, slightly savoury flavour makes it a fascinating addition to cheeseboards and a favourite for those looking to try something a little different.
Each portion is freshly cut to order at Riddle & Rind in Haworth, ensuring the cheese arrives full of flavour and ready to enjoy.
