Norwegian "brunost", brown cheese from Tine. "Fløtemysost original"

500 grams cheese block. Most Norwegians have grown up with this highly regarded brown cheese. Made as we know it today since 1863. Very nice on fresh bread or on waffles together with jam. 

************************************************************************

In the 1860s Anne Hov, a Norwegian farmer’s wife, invented the Gudbrandsdalen brown cheese, which has become one of the national symbols of Norway. The cheese is made from whey, cow’s and/or goat’s milk, and cream. This mixture is caramelized and boiled to perfection, hence the brown color. The taste is sweet and fudge-like, with a hint of goat’s milk.

Most Norwegians eat the brown cheese on their sandwiches, cut into thin slices by using a cheese slicer, (another Norwegian invention). However, the cheese can also be used on waffles, and as an ingredient in e.g. brownies or sauces.

We ship almost worldwide. Please note that no tracking number is available for shipped orders, all are sent by unregistered letter. I have shipped 23,000+ caviar tubes and other food items to 30+ different countries and only experienced a few problems with shipments to Brazil, Israel, Ukraine and Saudi Arabia.

The cheese survives shipping, but should be stored cold in the fridge after arrival for best taste. The "best before" date is about 6 months from day of shipping, but if stored cold, it can be enjoyed long after that.

This is a dairy product and it is buyers responsibility to check that you are allowed to import food items to your country.

IMPORTANT ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR MY AMERICAN CUSTOMERS

Ever since I started selling on eBay in 2012, I have offered "free shipping" on all my items/auctions. The reason I have been able to offer this is that I have used older stamps as franking and I have great access to this and have been able to keep costs down.

From January 1, 2026, unfortunately new rules came from the US and all shipments to the US must now be registered online, US customs fees must be prepaid by the seller (me), and shipping must be paid with a credit card. Postage stamps are now only allowed on normal letters and postcards without any value, and part of the customs handling fee. From 1^st January, I was unfortunately forced to charge full shipping, (which is very expensive from Norway) to all my American customers. To all other countries in the world, I can still frank with stamps and still offer free shipping. 80% of all orders that come in from eBay are sent to the USA so needless to say this is disastrous for my business, but unfortunately nothing I can do anything about, and I must start concentrating on selling to other countries. As an example, I can send a 2-kilo package of goods to a customer in Canada, Japan, or Australia with free shipping (franked with older stamps), while an American customer must pay over US$25 for the same package. I really regret this, both for you and me. I am in the US a lot both on vacation and for work, (my main job is for an American company based in Miami), and I think the US is a wonderful country, but the new tariff rules are of course not to my liking.
