Synnove Brunost Johaug Norwegian Brown Cheese, 480 g
Synnøve Brunost Johaug is a unique Norwegian brown cheese (brunost) produced by Synnøve Finden, weighing 480 grams per package. This cheese is inspired by the childhood memories of renowned Norwegian cross-country skier Therese Johaug at her family farm, Johaugen, and is designed to evoke joy for families, making it ideal for breakfast spreads or as a simple lunchbox treat for all ages.
It’s a firm, caramel-colored cheese with a smooth texture that’s easy to slice using a traditional Norwegian cheese slicer (ostehøvel).
In terms of taste, it offers a rich and rounded flavor profile—sweet with notes of caramel, balanced by a subtle tang from the inclusion of goat cheese. This makes it milder and more approachable than pure goat-based brunost varieties, while still capturing the essence of traditional Norwegian whey cheese.
Key ingredients include pasteurized milk, whey, cream, and 5% goat cheese (comprising goat whey, pasteurized goat cream, and pasteurized goat milk). It’s naturally high in calories due to its concentrated dairy origins, with nutritional values per 100 grams as follows: 464 kcal (1935 kJ), 30g fat (20g saturated), 39g carbohydrates (all from sugars), 9g protein, and 0.5g salt. Allergens are limited to milk, and it should be stored refrigerated between 0-4°C for freshness.
Brunost like this is a staple in Norwegian cuisine, often enjoyed on crispbread, waffles, or even melted into sauces for a sweet-savory twist. Its sweetness comes from the caramelization of milk sugars during production, setting it apart from typical savory cheeses.
