It looks like Fels-Naphtha soap, it cuts like aged Velveeta, it tastes like sweetened billy goat milk (yes, yes, I know your objection...), and I love it. I used to find it in markets in the Castro District of San Francisco, when that neighborhood was the true setting for "I Remember Mama", but the Scandinavian delis and the Norwegian Seamen's Mission have been replaced by leather bars, and gjetost (which simply means 'goat cheese' in Norse) has become hard to find outside Minnesota.You scrape it with the cheese-cutter, as shown on the label of the Ski Queen brand. You serve it in Kavli or some other crispbread. You either love it or hate it, but don't expect to remain friends with a Scandinavian if you speak ill of it.
This on-line shopping stint has opened a world of possibilities for a hermit like me. I could take on a Fed-Ex route in the Sawtooth Mountains, hire a driver, and be my own best customer. It sounds almost like the economic equivalent of perpetual motion...
Product Description
Gjetost, a uniquely Norwegian cheese, has a slightly sour flavor that tastes like sweet caramel with a smooth texture. This cheese can be enjoyed sliced wafer thin with coffee for breakfast and is ideal for a sweet fondue.
