Ski Queen, Gjetost Cheese, 8.8 Ounce

like what you get in Norway

Since I'm from Norway one of my favorite cheeses is Gjetost! I was so happy to discover this for purchasing online!

The cheese tastes okay but was a soggy mess when it came. I ordered as a gift and was embarrassed giving it to her. The little instructions are garbage when it comes to good quality products. Just add more ice and your product won't bleed oil and the ice wont melt to nothing. When it's over 100 degrees in some places, more ice is needed. I was upset giving this gooey mess to someone. She says it tastes okay, but I don't know if she even tried it. If it was me, I'd have been scared to. Not happy. Edit: tried one more time. It was worse. No ice at all this time. NONE. Will not fool me a third time. Shame.

Haven't tasted it yet, but it looks fine. The price is through the roof. I ate this as a little girl in Norway and this was traditional among all families because all could afford it.

I actually found out about Ski Queen caramel cheese from a TikTok video and had to try it for myself. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but it ended up being one of those “wait… why is this so good?” moments, but I’d have to admit the package was a bit smaller than I was expecting The texture is smooth, creamy, and almost fudge like, with a rich sweetness. The caramel flavor isn’t too overpowering , it blends into the cheese and gives it a really unique dessert meets savory vibe. I added it to a small charcuterie board with crackers and fruit, and it easily became the standout. It pairs especially well with apples or anything slightly tart to balance the sweetness. Now for the downside, shipping. Mine arrived a little worse for wear due to the heat, and it had that greasy, slightly melted look when I opened it. Not the best first impression, and I purchased two packs. That said, after a few hours in the fridge, it firmed back up and tasted perfectly fine. If you’re ordering this, I’d recommend cooler weather or making sure it doesn’t sit outside too long. But if you’re curious and like trying unique foods, this one is definitely worth it.

My daughter and I went on a cruise to Antarctica. The trip was sensational! and one of the takeaways was that onboard the 5-star kitchened ship, an abundant Charcuterie was set out for us at every meal. On that board, we discovered this caramelly, sweet, creamy Gjetost. At every meal, we had a cube or more. Neither of us had ever had it before. So, when I got home, I started looking for it. And, of course, Amazon has it. I've been ordering this cheese for both my daughter and myself for over a year now. I keep some in the fridge for guests (if we ever get to have guests and family at home again . . . . this pandemic!!) - and so with no guests, I've got the whole block of sweet cheese to myself. This cheese is divine by itself, sided with grapes and a nice salami but I'm having it now on grilled cheese sandwiches, on toasted cheese with avocado, with cheese and jelly! It's so creamy, that it melts kindly on toast and works as a spread (bring it to room temp) on baguettes. Give it a try. Yes, you'll be remembering it for a long time.

I picked this up to make a carnivore dieters dessert. I did a 14 or 16 day fast, and when I started eating again my body flat out told me 'NO!' to certain foods. Apparently Milk. Unfortunately cheese. Yep. Guess what else my body said no to? Bacon/Pork. Oh. Egg whites also (the dogs aren't complaining). And Sugar. Most foods in fact. How can I eat the cow but the cows milk say's - No You Don't? Chicken is good...as long as its not breaded. Fish? Same. I'll live with this though. 40 lbs within a month. 40 more to go since my body wants to lose weight. Easiest diet EVER! Crazy, since I wasn't on a diet.

We purchased this originally from The Cheese Lady in Grand Rapids. The cheese was great and we wanted more, but couldn't find it in our area so as we so often do - headed to Amazon. We got it at a good price and it was delivered promptly and it is even better now that our Michigan apples are ready. A small square of this cheese and a slice of apple is a taste treat that can't be believed. It's like a caramel apple, but not sticky and the only sugar is the natural flavor from the apple. Yum yum yum. This cheese will be in our refrigerator from now on. That's for sure. We took it on a trip and shared with some friends and they all agreed that it was great. The price seems high, but a little bit of this cheese goes a long way.
