A tube of primost (messmör)

Primost ("prime cheese") is a Norwegian cheese. The slightly brown cheese is made from cow's milk and has a soft spreadable texture. Cream is added towards the end of the process. The semi-sweet taste is derived from caramelizing the milk sugars of the whey as it is made. [1][2]

Primost is made in the same way as gjetost, but the whey mixture is not cooked as long. It is similar to brunost cheese, except that gjetost is made from a combination of goat and cow's milk or strictly goat's milk. These caramelized cheeses are often served with dark bread or Norwegian flatbread, as a dessert cheese, or as a cheese melted into a variety of culinary dishes.[3][4]
