Mesost

With only 10 to 20 percent fat, this cheese should be very popular in the 21st Century. Messiest looks like fudge and has a caramel flavor with bitter aftertaste. It's a Swedish whey cheese, usually block shaped. The whey is heated, causing the proteins and fat to separate out, and when the liquid evaporates, it leaves a sticky mass of caramelized milk sugars. Once this is set in a mould, the cheese can be cut into blocks and it is wrapped in foil.
