I even found some people who like it. It looks pretty much like some Edam, or perhaps some Cheddar, no smell at all, but the taste is &#8230; sweet ! No kidding, this cheese is sweet, it&#8217;s certainly the first time I try something like this (c&#8217;mon, sweet, what a weird idea ???). My opinion is that I&#8217;m not fond of it, but I don&#8217;t hate it either. It&#8217;s just plain different. And probably, there must be a way to cook something special with this. My advice: try it!<br \/>\nIt seems to keep for months ! I had my colleagues try it. The average feeling is about the same, with a tendency to not liking it, except for two people who liked it a lot.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cheese 2<\/strong>: Gamalost (from Norwegian: &#8220;old cheese ?&#8221;)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/khrys.is-a-geek.org\/images\/blog\/Norway\/big\/DSC05242.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/khrys.is-a-geek.org\/images\/blog\/Norway\/small\/DSC05242.JPG\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/khrys.is-a-geek.org\/images\/blog\/Norway\/big\/DSC05246.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/khrys.is-a-geek.org\/images\/blog\/Norway\/small\/DSC05246.JPG\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>That one was &#8230; bad. Simply bad. I just couldn&#8217;t appreciate it at all. I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;m picky, and I love cheese. But that one, really not. Texture is like some granular outdoor house painting: it goes in pieces in your hands. The color is brownish and not inviting. The smell is not strong, bud bad. I mean, at least it won&#8217;t make your fridge smells for ages (not like some French cheese I know), but it doesn&#8217;t invite for a taste either. My thought was that a bad smelling cheese cannot taste bad (!), well, it can. I found one that does. Plus, once in your mouth, taste remains for long, and it&#8217;s hard to get rid of it. My advice: try it only if you are masochist-like, and send the rest to somebody you want to poison :)<br \/>\nLuckily, this one doesn&#8217;t last, and I already past the consumption date.
