Nothing like white goat cheese, it's sweet and with a tiny hint of bitter. Being a norwegian-american family we eat it every day if we can get hold of it. I was surprised to see it listed as gourmet, its an everyday food over there. Like the picture on the wrapper, its sliced using a cheese slicer, a knife or wire cutter will cut too thick. bjorklund makes a good one. Most commonly served for breakfast or lunch on buttered rolls or bread. I like it on a sandwich with a layer of good jam under. Its good on toast and buttered waffles where the heat causes the slices to sweat and melt slightly, changing the texture, and making it delicious.

This cheese is nice, friendly to the palette. It has a nutty flavor, like aged Swiss cheese, and a the tang of sharp cheddar. There is a lovely sweetness to it, tastes of caramel. The cheese has great character.
To me, there was no off-putting flavor that I would have to acquire a taste for. Nothing really strong, piquant, musty, sour, briney, smokey, or pungent in it's flavor; it is mild tasting.
It is rich, dense, and creamy. I hate to compare it to velveeta, but it's texture a bit similar but firmer, more dense, thought the comparisons stop there.
I've had this cheese by itself, on crackers, crusty breads, and in sandwiches; today I had some in a sandwich with sliced deli chicken, yellow mustard and clover sprouts. If I made the same sandwich and replaced the Ski Queen Gjetost Cheese, with aged Swiss, and the yellow mustard with honey mustard; the sandwiches would have a similar flavor profile.
This cheese will be a fun addition to my next cheese & fresh fruit platter.
This cheese is nice for when peckish; being savory, nutty, sweet, and filling.
Even if you are not adventurous when trying different cheeses, I would sooner recommend this cheese to try; because it is unintimidating, mild with no strong flavor, rather than recommend bleu cheese, or even smoked Gouda. This is a fun cheese!

YUMMY !!!
This is not actually cheese.
It is caramelized whey.
I heard of it and I wanted to try it.
You'll either love it or hate it.

Norwegian goat cheese
I love the taste of this cheese and eat it often. It is delicious on a "brick oven" whole wheat bread -- ie, a good bread (one with substance).
