Fløtemysost is a Norwegian brown whey cheese made from cow's milk. The name points to cream and whey, and that is the heart of the recipe. Whey is boiled with milk and cream until the milk sugar darkens and the mass turns brown and sweet. The result is a firm block, not a wheel with a rind. It belongs with brunost, but it contains no goat's milk, so the taste stays milder than goat brown cheeses.

Primost is a soft brown whey cheese from Norway. It is made by cooking cow's milk whey until the milk sugar browns and the mass stays soft enough to spread. That cooking gives the tan color and the sweet taste. The paste is lighter in body than a firm block of brunost. Norwegians treat it as a bread cheese and a dessert cheese, not as a salty table cheese.
