Brunost also known as mysost (Norwegian), mesost (Swedish), meesjuusto (Finnish), mysuostur (Icelandic), myseost (Danish), Braunkäse (German).
The Norwegian and German names mean brown cheese while others translated simply mean ‘whey cheese’. The most commonly exported varieties of Brunost are Geitost which is made with a mixture of goats and cow's milk, Ekte Geitost made with goat’s milk only, and Gudbrandsdalsost.
Brunost is a sweet, dense caramelized brown Scandinavian whey cheese produced under different names in various countries. The cheese gets its brown colour and fudge like texture from the slow simmering process which allows the milk sugars to caramelize. A low-fat variant is made by increasing the proportion of whey to milk and cream.
Brunost is served thinly sliced on rye toast or crisp bread. It is considered healthy because of its high content of iron, calcium and B vitamins.

Gammelost, also spelt as Gamalost or Gammalost, is a distinctive Norwegian cheese made from skimmed cow's milk. Since its production is an extremely laborious process, the cheese that was once the staple of a Norwegian diet, is today not made in mass quantities. It is extremely rare to find it outside Norway. Like many other Norwegian products like flat bread and stockfish, Gammelost can be stored for a long duration without refrigeration.A semisoft, blue cheese, Gammelost imparts a sharp and aromatic flavour. Ripened using Mucor, Rhizopus, and Pencillium molds, the crust of the cheese is brownish while the pate is brownish-yellow with a hue of blue and green. Texturally, the cheese is firm, dense, moist and usually granular. It is rich in protein with low fat content of 0.5 to 1.0 %.Every year, a Gamalost festival (Gamalostfestivalen) is held in Vik in Sogn at the advent of summer.
