Gudbrandsdalsost

Brunost is usually sliced very thinly using a metal cheese slicer.

Brunost is a brown Norwegian cheese. The name brunost means 'brown cheese'. The two most popular varieties are Gudbrandsdalsost, which means 'cheese from the Gudbrandsdal' (made from cow's milk), and the more traditional version geitost (older spelling, still used in North America: gjetost), which simply means 'goat cheese', and which is wholly or in part made from goat's milk. There are also regional varieties, which vary both in colour and taste, depending on how much caramel they contain.
