Fløtemysost
Type of brunost made from cow's milk
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fløtemysost or Fløytemysost is a type of brunost or brown cheese made from cow's milk.[1]
Fløtemysost has a mild taste and bright color. The mild flavor has made fløtemysost very popular. Geitost, which is made from goat's milk, is the counterpart to fløtemysost. Goat cheese has a stronger taste than fløtemysost.[2][3]
Traditionally brunost was made on farms throughout Norway by boiling whey without the addition of milk or cream. This became a sugar rich, lean product. Fløtemysost was first made when Anne Hov added cow cream to cow whey creating a firmer, fatty, more cheese-like product. Later, she added goat milk and Gudbrandsdalsost was created.[4][5][6]
