Butter has historically had an important role as a means of payment in Norway, and was therefore considered the most important milk product. However, it's not just fat in milk! After the cream is separated, you are left with skimmed milk. Norwegian cheese makers has therefore developed two very different, matured traditional cheeses that are based on this raw material: gamalost and pultost.<\/p>\n
Gamalost skal ha r\u00f8tter helt fra vikingtida. Osten er ikke kjent fra andre land, og produseres med en spesiell muggsopp – nemlig Mucor mucedo. En god gamalost skal v\u00e6re lys gyllenbrun i fargen med en saftig og grov konsistens. Smaken skal v\u00e6re skarp, aromatisk og apettittvekkende. Pr\u00f8v gjerne osten i tynne skiver med litt honning, sm\u00f8r, r\u00f8mme eller fersk frukt.<\/p>\n
Traditional pultost is made from strongly acidified skimmed milk, often seasoned with caraway and often has a loose, grainy curd. However, this has varied, and still varies, depending on who is making the cheese and the tradition in the area. Common to all pultost is a sharp and rich flavor that goes well with wholemeal bread or flatbread, and pairs well with boiled and baked potatoes, sour cream and cured meats! In some areas, the pultost is traditionally processed further into tr\u00f8gost, also called knaost or kjuke.<\/p>\n
In the traditional cheese category, we also find products made from cooked curds and whey, with a round and sweet flavor. You may be familiar with gomme, dravle, songraut, mylse, s\u00f8st or gubbost? There are many varieties, often with various additions such as cinnamon and cardamom, raisins, syrup, wheat flour, rice grains and semolina.<\/p>\n

Tradisjonsost Sm\u00f8r har historisk sett hatt en viktig rolle som betalingsmiddel Norge, og ble derfor ansett som det viktigste melkeproduktet. Det er imidlertid ikke bare fett i melka! Etter at fl\u00f8ten skilles fra, sitter man igjen med skummet melk.
