Brunost (Brown Cheese) is one of Norway's most iconic foods. It has a distinct sweet, caramel-like flavor and a dense, fudge-like texture. Unlike traditional cheese, it is made by boiling whey, cream, and milk until the sugars caramelize.
It is most commonly served in thin shavings (using a traditional Norwegian cheese slicer called an ostehøvel) on top of:
1. Freshly baked bread or crispbread.
2. Norwegian heart-shaped waffles with a bit of butter.
3. Lompe (potato flatbread).
