It’s easy to find in Minnesota. I love it, my kids love it, my husband loves it, but it can be a hard sell for folks who didn’t grow up with it. The salty-sweet-caramel of it is surprising when they’re thinking “cheese”. I didn’t know how it was made, however. This is fascinating!

Once in a while we couldn’t use all the milk, so it collected and collected. I would then use a huge pot and make gjeitost. 3 gallons of milk, a few rennet tablets, and after cooking all day, there would be enough for about 2/3 cup’s worth of geitost. 100% and very strong, so strong my children didn’t like it so much, but this Norwegian loved it!

I love reading your posts. It is a very interesting read on how this cheese came to existence! It seems very similar to the Indian dish called mawa, which is made by boiling down the milk to an extremely thick paste, has brown caramelized notes to it, and mostly used in desserts.

Just wanted to share this!

Hi Lauri. I think you can purchase it online or at speciality Scandinavian retailers, who also have an online shop. You might even be able to ask a larger grocery chain that’s nearby if they can order it in for you. Hope you are able to get your hands on some!

Is there any where to order it?
