Ski Queen Gjetost Original Goat Cheese, (8.8 Ounce)

I enjoyed every bite of it. I tried this cheese in one of cruise tours in Norway. I bought a different brand at a supermarket during the tour, and have been craving it. I like mine straight from the chilled refrigerator with crackers or alone. I am glad I found this brand and vendor, small and pricey but worth it.

Soooooo gooooood it’s irresistible! The best cheese I ever had! I wouldn’t call it sweet but it does have a caramel like smooth taste with a tiny bit of bite. It arrived in perfect condition and very fresh. It is a big chunk of cheese that last a while because a small piece is all you’ll need to be satisfied because it is very dense and takes a while to eat since you allow it to melt slightly as you eat it. I eat it all by itself because it is too good just by itself and doesn’t need any other help! I opened it 2 weeks ago and it still hasn’t gone bad.

Zero stars because it arrived inedible. It was in a plastic bag tied with a loose knot, in an Amazon cardboard box. No insulation, no cold pack, just oil leaking all over the place. And soft, melting, old cheese that had been in transit for who knows how long. I've had this cheese before, and it's unique and incredible, but this site is not the place to buy it. Unless you want to roll the dice on eating old, hot, goat's milk. Personally that's a hard pass.

This is most definitely an acquired taste. It is more of a sweet than savory “cheese”. It is not the kind of cheese most of us think of, it is not aged. It is a fresh cheese. I love it for my tea break, a cream biscuit with a bit of this. Yes I do it eat traditionally with my waffles, but I have also added it to a meat sandwich. I favor having a bit of sweet with meat, an English thing I think. This will last a while, as you do thin slices, in the refrigerator wrapped up tight.

This was my first taste of Norwegian geist cheese. It is delicious. The package was wrapped in loose plastic and very oily. We put it in a large plastic baggie for the fridge.

I'm glad this arrived in a winter month, because there was no cooling pack. The wrapper was oily and the cheese softer than expected. There was an ink smear where I would have expected a "best used by" date, which did not appear anywhere. I called and was able to confirm a month left on the shelf life. I placed the cheese in the fridge and found it became more pleasant as it cooled and hardened. The taste mildly smoky with a hint of caramel, but overall, this cheese was not memorable so therefore I would consider it overpriced and not buy again.

Tastes good

Delicious cheese! Considering the cost of shipping was/is more than the cost of the product and I bought this at the request of my girlfriend, I was very much wanting this to be worth the cost. I would have to say after tasting this cheese it certainly is! It was SO good in my mouth it is indescribable. Creamy, sweet, smooth, elegant, groan-inducing from happiness, rich; fantastic with gluten free bread and with crackers. Too rich to eat the entire thing, but my goodness I felt like I wanted to. My girlfriend would also NOT have been happy so I had to refrain from devouring this stuff anyway. It does not look like much out of the insulated box, but once you start slicing it, you realize there is a good amount. The shipping includes an insulated container for the cheese, so if you happen to not be present to bring it into the fridge right away it is okay. The seller responded to an inquiry I had regarding this quite promptly and courteously. Bottom-line: well-worth the cost under $20 total currently (including the cost of shipping). This cheese is so good it will make you buy more. And more. And more.
