“It was like hot chocolate with marshmallows, except with hot coffee and cheese”
Kaffeost! Photo: Edith Zimmerman I’m using the Wall Street Journal’s recent story on butter coffee — also known as Bulletproof coffee, which has been popular since 2012 — as an excuse to write about another carbohydrate-free coffee–dairy combination I’ve been curious about: kaffeost, or coffee cheese.
A northern Scandinavian tradition, kaffeost is a drink/meal in which cubes of cheese are released into a cup of coffee. They absorb it “like rich, moist cheese sponges,” per Atlas Obscura, and ideally it’s all served in a beautiful mug carved out of a birch burl . The bread cheese I found — Carr Valley Bread Cheese — came in a plastic-sealed brick, slightly less than a pound, and I peeled away the wrapper, cut off a slice, and chopped it into cubes. It was dense but light — halloumi-esque.
