I lived in Norway last two years and fell in love with this wonderful cheese. Back to Germany again, I just started my own food & photography blog. And guess, what kind of recipe I just posted two days ago? Brown Cheese Ice Cream! It is soooo yummy.

Quite a special treat! I've now realized that it's available at the Scandivanian Specialities store here in Seattle (which ships). Other varieties of brunost are available through Amazon, and Whole Foods has the pure goat cheese (Ski Queen).

I have a question. I've seen some packages listing salt as an ingredient and some not, and wondered if the traditional method did not add salt, perhaps the natural salts in the milk were enough.
