It is slightly brown 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. <ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.motherearthnews.com/real-food/homemade-cheese/mysost-leftover-whey-zm0z15fmzkin |title= Mysost: A Whey Better Cheese Recipe|publisher = Mother Earth News |accessdate= February 1, 2017 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url= https://snl.no/mysost |title =mysost|website= Store norske leksikon |access-date=March 1, 2020}}</ref>

Primost is made in the same way as brunost, but the whey mixture is not cooked as long. 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.<ref>{{cite web|url= http://blog.cheesemaking.com/prim-ost-anyone/ |title= Whey Cheeses – Primost, Mysost, Gjetost|publisher = cheesemaking.com |author= Jeri Case |date= February 23, 2010|accessdate= February 1, 2017 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url= https://www.snl.no/brunost|title =brunost|website= Store norske leksikon |access-date=March 1, 2020}}</ref>
