Gjetost (pronounced YAY-toast) is a traditional Norwegian cheese, most commonly eaten for breakfast. This extremely unique cheese has quite a presence.

Gjetost is made from the cow's milk, goat's milk, and whey, and heated very slowly until the water evaporates and the milk sugar caramelizes. The result is a reddish-brown cheese with a soft, fudgy texture and a very sweet caramel flavor.

In Scandinavia it's enjoyed on crispbread or toast in the morning. It's delicious with coffee. It can also be melted into fondue to add sweetness. It's a kid's favorite, and good with dessert too.
