Nutty Gjetost is a staple for Norweigan breakfasts. Its fudgy texture and irresistible creaminess are met with notes of toffee and salt that strike a happy balance of savory and sweet.
The luscious recipe for Gjetost dates back more than 130 years ago in Gudbrandsdalen, Norway. Anne Hov, a farmer’s wife, decided to pour cream into a kettle of whey to create a rich, buttery cheese. Her “fat cheese” fetched a higher price at the local market than butter or cheese alone. Her creative take on cheese became so popular throughout the country, it ended up saving the entire Gudbrandsdalen valley from financial ruin in the 1880s.
Slice thin and enjoy with morning toast.
