Gamalost (Nynorsk; gammelost or gammalost in Bokmål) is a traditional Norwegian cheese.

==History== Gamalost, which translates as 'old cheese', was once a staple of the Norwegian diet. Like many traditional Norwegian foods, such as flatbread, dry salted meats and stockfish, gamalost could be stored for long periods without refrigeration. The brownish-yellow cheese is firm, moist, coarse and often granular. Gamalost is rich in protein with low fat content, measuring 1% fat and 50% protein.
