Product Description
Ekte Gjetost is a sweet, brown, firm cheese, made solely from pure goat's milk which is boiled under pressure until caramelization occurs. Stronger than regular Gjetost, it is widely popular among Scandinavians. Children especially enjoy its sweet flavor and fudge-like texture. Traditionally, this cheese is cut into very thin slices and eaten at breakfast with toast or crispbread.- Made from pasteurized goat's milk.

FANTASTIC NORWEGIAN TREAT! July 19, 2010

I have loved Gjetost since I was a little girl. Lately, gjetost has been a bit difficult to find. I don't know if there is some kind of shortage or what, but thankfully I was able to get it on Amazon. However, the shipping was more expensive than the cheese, so I recommend buying more than a pound of gjetost to make up for the shipping being so high. This is truly EXCELLENT GJETOST! Mine was gone in less than 2 weeks. YUMMM!!!
Best cheese ever June 6, 2010

As the tag suggests this cheese is "crazy delicious". Last had it on a trip to Norway 10 year ago and been craving it ever since. Ordered through igourmet and was pleased with the quick arrival from the east to west coast. I ordered two blocks since the shipping was the same price and am very happy that I did. Will definitely buy more.

Caramelized goat's milk, cured and shaped into bricks by genuine Norwegian trolls! 'Ekte Gjetost' means literally 'genuine goat cheese', but this cheese bears little resemblance to any "chevre" you've eaten recently. It's sweet. Some people think it tastes slightly like peanut butter. As one reviewer has already declared, it has roughly the texture of buffed-up Velveeta. It's one of the prides of Norway, and by confessing that I love the stuff, I'm making a case that I myself deserve the Nobel Peace Prize, since I'm a Swede. Ja då! Alltså! Pan-Scandinavianism, shall we say? If nationalism were only expressed by touting one's local cheese rather than one's military might or religious certainty!
This 'Tine ekte gjetost' is a tastier cheese than the more widely sold Ski Queen, which blends cow and goat milk. Either one, however, needs to be somewhat fresh; you can keep them half of forever in your refrigerator, but the flavor deteriorates, especially when the cheese is exposed to air. You can judge by the color; if there are darker, duller edges, it's gotten senile. People eat gjetost most often as part of a breakfast spread. You shave thin slivers of it from the block and let it melt on your tongue, or else eat it on simple flatbread. Härlig! Var så gud ....

I grew up eating this cheese for breakfast with brown bread or flat bread. It is also used as a dessert cheese. The flavor is addictive and this blend is far superior to the Ski Queen brand.

I tried Ekte Gjetost cheese when a Norwegian exchange student came to live with us for a while. She brought a big hunk of this cheese with her on the plane. The first time I tried it, I thought, hum, interesting taste.
She would eat it on toasted bagels. The more I tasted it, the more I liked it.
It is a flavor you can't forget. I have been trying to find it ever since. I'm so happy to find out I can get it by ordering on the internet.
It's been over two years & I cannot forget about this cheese & it's amazing flavor & texture.
