Awesome cheese is awesome

Gjetost - Mutant love child of Dulce de Leche and Salt

So there I am, at the local (and most excellent) Cheese Shop , and happen to run into something call Gjetost. " What is it? " is the usual refrain.. Well, its a Norwegian "cheese", and the quotation marks are actually quite important - its actually made by reducing whey (with added cream/milk) till its all solid and caramel-y.  In short, making Dulce de leche with a whole bunch of additional whey (and salt, AFAIK). Its also, and this is important, freakishly awesome, assuming that you're OK with sweet-ish stuff. Slap a thin slice on a cracker and consume. Better yet, toast till it gets just gooey enough. Awesome. Freakishly awesome. Who knew that the Norwegian's could make "cheese"? Notes : Yes, I do know about Jarlsberg. No, stuff sold in plastic containers does not count, even if it has a fun name like Snøfrisk I'm not sure what Gamalost is...
