What’s going on here? Is this Norwegian goat cheese, marketed as “Ski Queen” and mistakenly sold as Swiss Gruyere?
I guess using the name Gudbrandsdalsost is not a good idea over there..
Is that you Lara Gut?
FFS imagine looking for gruyère and getting brunost instead like what the fuck 😂
Brunost
I don’t get people buying expensive cheese when it’s made from leftovers you’d normally use to fatten a pig. I can get a kilo block of local cheese for half this price too, and you can put it on pizza and tacos. **You ask the local dairy to boil you down a big pot of whey so you can spread the resulting brown goo on your toast and they will look at you like you have 3 heads.** I’ll probably make it when my family buys a cow, unless I also have pigs at the same time. Whey makes good fat pigs.
G35 gang rise up!
Creamy caramel cheese? Isn’t that Gjetost?
Why is there a picture of a cow on the label in front of the cheeses?
I know better!
I studied in Scotland and had my classmates over for lunch and they of course had to try the strange looking Norwegian brown cheese. Before I could stop them they put it on a burger sandwich w/egg and mayonaise haha. That did not go well…..We brought it over from Norway ourselves but it was sold in Frasers and other high end food supermarkets. I think it should have been named candy cheese or something so it was clear it can not be used as ordinary cheese or not named cheese at all but some other useful name. It fits well with jam that is how Norwegians eat it, alone on a toast or crispbread or with jam on top.
Ski queen, why do they have to dumb it down like that ? Make a fancy name other than gruyere and sell it like the high end product it is
Caramel cheese is pretty accurate though
It should be called Gudbrandsdals cheese worldwide, because Gudbrandsdalen is a place
