Fjåk Chocolate AS produces a distinctive product known as Caramelised Milk & Brown Cheese. This chocolate offers a unique taste experience by combining the rich, creamy flavors of caramelized milk with the savory notes of traditional Norwegian brown cheese.
The brown cheese, or "brunost," imparts a slightly tangy and sweetly umami flavor that pairs harmoniously with the smooth, caramel-like quality of the milk chocolate. This innovative blend reflects Fjåk Chocolate's commitment to incorporating local ingredients and traditional Norwegian culinary elements into their artisanal chocolate creations.
