Yes, it is, and that’s one reason why many American cheesemakers are now using it. So, the next time you make cheese, take the leftover whey and make gjetost!

I like very much the Norwegian cheese Gjetost - which has a golden brown color and a creamy, almost caramel and nutty taste to it. But I usually just eat it with bread alone. Does anyone have any ideas what food or wine goes well...

CHOW’s guide to the major cheese types.

I’ve seen gjetost at Paddy’s Cheese Market and at the downtown Sobey’s, which also had fudge cheese (not sure if was Norwegian, though).

Haven’t checked recently but the main Hamel store at JTM has stocked gjetost. www.fromageriehamel.com Memory’s vague but am pretty sure La Vieille Europe (3855 St-Laurent, 514 842-5773) has offered it, too. Fromagerie...

I read a blog post about this cheese today and I am DYING to try it. Is there any place in or even close to Toronto that would have it? Here is a link: http://www.applepiepatispate.com/norwegian/brunost-gjetost/ TIA!

Gjetost. It’s a Scandinavian cheese — Swedish, I think — made from goat’s milk. Smooth and sweet and melt-in-your-mouth. The flavor is a little like peanut butter, only really good peanut butter...

As Pat reported, Gjetost is available throughout the city. In addition to Fairway, I’ve seen it at the Amish Market, Ideal Cheese, Murray’s Cheese, and a bunch of random local markets.

There is a very interesting cheese I read about in last year’s January issue of Saveur and bought, it’s a Norweigan cheese by Ski Queen called "gjetost" made of caramelized goat’s milk or a goat/cow milk combo....

Gjetjost is the name of the cheese. I thought there was an earlier thread on it but I can’t find it. Here is a place to buy it: http://www.igourmet.com/shoppe/search.asp?cat=51&qry=gjetost And some info on it below. Link: http

In which stores have you seen gjetost? I used to see it all the time, but not lately. Figured I was the only person in Boston who liked it.(Shaved on top of salt and peppered cucumbers- oh boy!) Last time I saw it was at (what...
