Hello Fellow Cheese Travelers!

As March is “Women’s History Month”, I thought I would share with you the story of a celebrated cheesemaker from Norway, Anne Haav (sometimes spelled Hov). Many people may not recognize her name, but the cheese that she created is recognized around the world. In 1863, Anne created Gudbrandsdalost, but many people know it by its common name, Gjetost.

This cheese may be a simple one, but I am sure that what I am about to share might surprise even the most experienced cheese lover.

Gjetost has a unique (and celebrated) history. So pull up a “Stol” and grab your “Ostehøvel.” because we are about to dig into this sweet, carmel-y, creation.
