Originating in Norway, Brunost, or brown cheese, is created by heating leftover cheesemaking whey until the milk sugars caramelize and the whey reaches a fudge-like consistency. Traditionally enjoyed at breakfast, this cheese pairs best with waffles, pancakes, or toast, served with berry jam or fresh berries.
Brunost also makes for a fantastic addition to your cheese boards and platters!

Medallion, a goat milk Feta-style cheese, was awarded a ‘Super Gold’ at the prestigious World Cheese Awards (WCA) in 2023 held in Norway. Medallion goat milk Feta-style cheese is crafted with farm-fresh, indigenous goat milk.

Cheddar gets it’s name from a process called Cheddaring. To make Cheddar, the milk solids are finely cut and left to drain. Once drained, they are cut into thick slabs. These slabs of cheese curds are stacked on top of each other, which helps in draining out more moisture.
This process is then repeated again until the cheese curds reach the desired consistency. Now, the slabs are shredded into tiny pieces & generously sprinkled with sea salt. These cheese curds are then pressed into a wheel, weighing roughly around 20-25kgs (depending on the cheesemaker).
