Hello Norwegians, I recently had a family member who lives in Norway visit me and he brought some Brunost over. This is one of the most unique and tastiest cheeses I’ve ever had so thank you Norwegians for creating this incredible cheese!

1. You’re welcome. Best regards,
   all our great great grandmothers. Or someone.

2. Try it with jam, and waffles

3. I’m still trying to figure out how i could spend a week in Oslo and somehow miss this opportunity. I must have been spending too much time staring at the Fram i guess. Oh well, guess I’ll just have to go back.

4. try it on toast with salty butter and/or jam! cloudberryjam is the best!

5. It takes a few slices to get used to but once you get the acquired taste – you are hooked!

6. Have a few local Albertsons stores here in Texas that sell. Have been in the habit of keeping it around.

7. I’m jelly…

8. Yeah and dont forget the oste høvel to tje rigth

9. With Flatbread and a side of pickled herring. 😋

10. I’m scared to say that I am a norvegian that can’t stand the taste of it.

11. You should get to try the Christmas version. It has cinnamon in it. Cinnamon brunost with strawberry jam on freshly baked bread, i’m drooling.

12. Try it with a thin spread of honey underneath. I promise you. You have to try it

13. Try it on freshly baked bread! It’s gorgeous!

14. kinda like peanut butter, mixes well with thing peanut butter mixes with
    *exept it’s cheese, and cheese is better*

15. Technically more of a cream caramel than a cheese. Very good though.

16. Also surprisingly flammable: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-21141244

17. Your very wellcome

18. Toasted bread with butter, strawberry jam and brunost 🤤🤤

19. You can get it in the US as well, it’s called “ski queen” there. I use to buy it at a local grocer in NYC.

20. I call it anti-cheese, because it’s made with the whey instead of the curds.

    I also discovered years ago that French friends found it disgusting if they had heard it was a type of cheese, but found it tasty if it had not been described to them as cheese.

21. No

22. Technically not a cheese despite the name

23. Finnish rye bread, butter, brunost (ekte geitost) and tomatoes = perfection.

24. The comment section be like: “Jam!? Please tell us you have strawberry jam!”

25. The special Christmas edition is my favourite 😁

26. Assuming you are in the US here, but you should be able to find it in grocery stores across the country. Tine, the main dairy producer in Norway, has a brand of the traditional brown cheese called “Gudbrandsdalen” which they sell under the name of “Ski Queen” in the US.

    Also, pro-tip: don’t take it all the out of the wrapper completely if you want it to last as long as possible. If managed correctly, you should be able to stretch a single block a month or more.

27. If this was a brunost in my house, I would be slightly annoyed someone removed it from the packaging. The brunost will more easily dry out now and everyone will leave fingermarks when slicing.

    The packaging has holes for your fingers in all four corners, so you can pull the plastic back and slice, and pull the plastic back again to cover the cheese.

28. I saw Gordon ramsey make an omelette with brunost. Looked absolutely disgusting. Never seen any norwegians do that.

29. Brought one of these to the States not long after 9/11 and customs pulled me aside to check if it was plastic explosives.

30. Put two slices in your brown sauces (gravies?).
