Dulce de Leche
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 ....More detail ...
