[Sca-cooks] Re: Mysost/Gjetost (cheese)

[Kathleen Madsen]

They whey version is called Gjetost.  There is a
similar recipe that uses whole milk that is curdled
and then cooked down in the same fashion - that is
called Gomost.  It produces a cheese with a more
creamy texture and has a much higher yield than
Gjetost.

Gomost is made most frequently with cow's milk but is
also made using goat's milk, they do not change the
name to differentiate between the two.

This is the first time I have heard Gjetost made from
whey. As far as I 
know
proper gjetost is made with whole goat's milk.

Note: "Gjet" in Norwegian is "goat".

Shuddering at the thought of gjetost made from whey. :P
