Fløtemysost

Fløtemysost

Fløtemysost or Fløytemysost is a type of brunost (Norwegian: "brown cheese"), made from cow milk. It has a mild taste and bright color.

The mild flavour has made fløtemysost very popular and about 30% of all brunost sold is fløtemysost.

Fløtemysost was the first brunost to be made, when Anne Hov added cow cream to cow whey and it became fløtemysost. Later, she added goat milk and the gudbrandsdalost was born.

Geitost is the counterpart to fløtemysost because it is made from goat's milk. Goat cheese has a stronger taste than fløtemysost.
