Brunost or mysost (Norwegian) or mesost (Swedish) meesjuusto (Finnish) mysuostur (Icelandic) myseost (Danish) or Braunkäse (German) is a caramelised brown Scandinavian whey cheese. The Norwegian and German names mean brown cheese and the others mean simply whey cheese. Another variant made using goat milk is referred to and sold as geitost (Norwegian for goat cheese) or sometimes elsewhere as gjetost /ˈjeɪtoʊst/ (an older Dano-Norwegian spelling no longer used in Norway).
