Brunost is the brown whey cheese of Norway. Cooks make it by reducing whey until the milk sugar browns and the paste turns sweet. The finished food is a firm block without a rind, closer to caramel fudge than to a salty table cheese. Norwegian dairies sell several styles under the same name, and the sweetness and tang change with the recipe. Breakfast tables across the country treat a few thin slices as an ordinary food.

Snøfrisk is a soft white cheese from Norway, sold as a spread. It is made from goat's milk and cow's cream, and the paste stays pale because it does not take on a yellow tint. The name means snow fresh, which fits the clean look and the tangy taste. There is no rind. It comes in a small pack for the table, and flavored versions sit beside the plain one.
