Is that like gaitost, the brown whey cheese?

It’s basically solid whey that’s gone through a Maillard reaction to make a sweet, salty cheese like stuff.

We made some a few years back, but couldn’t get it to turn out as aell as the commercial stuff.



I also made it once. The electricity for boiling all that liquid should be what makes up most of the manufacuring cost. Hm I should ask Fjällbrynt how they cope with that.

If I remember correctly the trick was in the stirring. Either not stir at all (with the risk of burning), or stir all the time to keep it from crystalizing.

Edit: and yes geitost is the goat-whey version.
