Brunost

Brunost is usually sliced very thinly using a metal cheese slicer

Brunost (Norwegian), or mesost (Swedish), mysuostur (Icelandic), myseost (Danish) or Braunkäse (German) is a brown Scandinavian whey cheese. The Norwegian name brunost means brown cheese, and the others mean simply whey cheese. Another variant, made using goat milk, is referred to and sold as gjetost (Norwegian for goat cheese).
