Leirgrøv naturell
Leirgrøv naturell is very similar to Leirgrøv stølsmølk, but is made from milk outside the stølsmølk season. The cheese is sold six months to two years after production. Initially, it is white and mild, but after a period of storage it can take on a pink tinge and become more mineral in taste. Leirgrøv naturell is the main cheese of Prestholt Geitost, and won a generous gold medal in the WC in cheese in 2018.

Leirgrøv is a white goat's cheese that is made based on lactose-thin production. Leirgrøvostane is named after the stable Leirgrøv. The stølsmjølk type is therefore only prepared in the summer. Goat's milk takes a lot of flavor from the goat's feed, and the goat likes food with flavor in it. That's why the goat's milk diet is stronger in taste and gives the impression of the goat's favorite food - herbs, willows and mountain flowers. Cow's milk from støl is often yellow-coloured by carotene, but goat's milk does not contain carotene, and turns bright green from all the goodies on the mountain pasture. Therefore Leirgrøv colostrum can be light green in colour. Leirgrøv 1242 is stored for a minimum of 12 months.

Prosten is a mature goat's milk cream cheese, what Norwegians like to call chevre. This is made all year round, both from stølsmjøl and winter milk. The provost had the name Presten earlier, after the former (old) priest in Ostebygda, who has now become Provost. He is fond of cooking and very enthusiastic about cheese, and he likes to preach the good news about local cheese making and locally produced cheese.
How about heating the whole cheese in the oven at 200 degrees for 4 minutes? Served with a sweet accompaniment.
