The Gjetost cheese was all that I expected it to be and I had not tasted it for many, many years. I grew up with a Norwegian boy as a young playmate and had this cheese on crackers every day as an afternoon snack at his house. I could never find it anywhere in Northwest Florida. Tasting this unique and wonderful cheese again brought back many pleasant memories.

At Christmas time as kids when my mom would bring out this cheese, my siblings and I would run and hide. It's an acquired taste, I think. I don't know many kids who like it. I love it now. I have a great recipe called Smoked Chicken and Goat Cheese Pasta with pine nuts. I'll ask if I can post it in the recipe section on this website. It's the best pasta dish I have ever eaten. This cheese is very sweet...a little goes a long ways.

This cheese brings back fond memories of a wonderful week we spent in Stavanger, Norway. Our hosts introduced it to us and it was love at first taste. We were unable to find it in the U.S. until we discovered igourmet.

Slice this thinly--a little goes a long ways! A bite of cherry tomato balances the sweet, strong flavor nicely. I have tried several gjetosts, and this is quite a fine one.

Serve with a muscular red wine and fresh golden apples. Slice extra thin with a cheese knife and pair with thin apple slices treating the Gjetost like a condiment. [...]
