Name: Brunost Cheese
Brand: Paul and Mike
Rating: 4 (1 reviews)

Produced by the Indian farm-to-bar maker Paul and Mike, this bar bridges the gap between traditional chocolate and Norwegian culinary tradition. Paul and Mike operates with a focus on controlling the production process from the cocoa farm to the final bar, ensuring that fine flavor cocoa beans are matched with ingredients selected for their transparency and impact.

The Brunost Cheese bar is a milk chocolate base that incorporates freeze dried Brunost cheese, a distinctive Scandinavian whey cheese known for its dense, fudge-like texture and sweetness. The addition of sea salt helps to balance the inherent caramel notes of the cheese, resulting in a savory-sweet profile that deviates from standard confectionery norms. The formulation includes cocoa butter, milk powder, sugar, and sunflower lecithin to maintain a smooth texture alongside the inclusions.

Quality recognition for this bar includes a Silver award at the 2024 Academy of Chocolate. Nutritional data indicates an energy content of 555.8 kcal per 100g, with 37.6g of fat and 35.8g of sugar, reflecting the rich, buttery nature of both the milk chocolate and the cheese inclusion.
