Ever bitten into a cheese that tastes like caramel? Ski Queen Gjetost delivers that magic—a smooth, fudgy texture with sweet, toffee notes and just a hint of tang from its goat cheese base. Made in Norway using goat whey, cow's milk, and cream, it's cooked low and slow until it turns golden and irresistible. At 8.8 ounces, this wheel is just right for sharing or savoring solo.
Unlike crumbly chevre or sharp cheddars, Gjetost has a dense, sliceable body that holds up beautifully when cut paper-thin. That caramel flavor comes from the natural sugars in the whey caramelizing during production—no additives, just pure dairy goodness. It's got about 15 grams of protein per serving too, making it a satisfying snack that curbs sweet cravings without the crash.
Breakfast Boost: Shave thin slices over hot coffee; they melt slightly, turning your mug into a cozy Scandinavian treat. Pair with crispbread or fruit for a simple yet elegant start to the day.
Sweet Fondue Fun: Gently melt with a touch of butter for a dip that's incredible with apples, pears, or pancakes. Guests rave about it at gatherings—it's unexpected and always a hit.
Everyday Indulgence: Nibble straight from the fridge, add to charcuterie boards, or grate over waffles. It travels well, so toss it in your lunch for a flavor punch that beats boring sandwiches.
This cheese stores easily in the fridge for weeks, and its firm texture means no messy crumbling. If you're into exploring global flavors or gifting something thoughtful, Gjetost checks every box. Cheese aficionados appreciate its authenticity—it's been a Norwegian favorite for over a century. Grab one and taste why it's more than cheese; it's a little adventure on your plate.
