Brown cheese made from whey, milk and cream, boiled until the sugars caramelise. Sliced thin with a cheese plane onto crispbread, waffles or a sourdough loaf.
Brunost dates to 1863 when dairymaid Anne Hov first added cream to the whey in the Solbråsetra dairy in Gudbrandsdalen; it has been Norway's most definitive food export ever since. The caramelised brown cheese was patented as Gudbrandsdalsost by TINE in 1866 and became a Norwegian breakfast and lunch fixture. Oslo's Hagen Konditori, the Mathallen brown cheese counter and Solberg & Hansen sell the canonical version sliced thin onto crispbread or sourdough.
