A traditional Scandinavian cheese made from goat's whey, with a distinctive brown color and slightly sweet, caramel-like flavor.
Norwegian: from 'gjeit' (goat) and 'ost' (cheese); traditional Scandinavian cheese-making method that has been preserved for centuries.
Gjetost (also spelled gjedost) is practically edible history—it's been made the same way for hundreds of years in Scandinavian farms, and it's one of the few cheeses that actively gets darker and more caramel-like as you cook it.
