QUALITY: TINE® Gudbrandsdal cheese is the original brown cheese, with a history dating back to 1863.

The whey is heated slowly with milk until it starts to turn to caramel, which gives the brown cheese its distinctive sweet taste.
INSPIRATION: The cheese is perfect as a spread on bread, crispbread and waffles. It elevates the flavors of sauces and stews, and is the perfect topping for oatmeal. This speciality from Norway was enjoyed by Si and Dave and can be seen on the 'Hairy Bikers' bakeation in Norway
