I tried this at a friend's party, and was hooked. Imagine the flavor of caramel or toffee, infused with the little bite of sharp cheddar. You can't eat a lot of it, as it is pretty rich, but for a little treat, it is wonderful. Melt in your mouth goodness. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sweet and different .. *by on Reviewed in the United States August 6, 2020* Awesome Norwegian cheese, so hard to find. A very different flavor from regular cheese. It has a sweet caramel taste. Delicious. I was so thrilled to find it during time of shortages. It was a rare treat. Brought me back to Norway.Thanks Amazon. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Classic Norwegian Cheese *by on Reviewed in the United States February 13, 2025* This is the classic Norwegian 'fudgy' cheese. I prefer the tanginess of the blue label version but it is much harder to find. An enjoyable treat to remember my trip to Norway. ## Frequently Bought Together - Ski Queen, Gjetost, 8.8 Ounce - Hafi Lingonberry Preserves 14.1 oz --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.no/products/23530568-gjetost-8-8-ounce](https://www.desertcart.no/products/23530568-gjetost-8-8-ounce) --- *Product available on Desertcart Norway* *Store origin: NO* *Last updated: 2026-09-24*
