These are traditional foods, which in plain-speak means that you have to have grown up with them to think they’re edible and normal. (I have though, and *yum*-my!)
Best stay far away if not, and don’t say I didn’t warn you.
And that goes doubly for you u/GlorpFlee!

Gomme is a sweet spread for either lefse or brødskive. Very good.
As for the cheeses… I worked in a warehouse where Tine stored this shit, and take my word. None of these are for consumption.
One of our truck drivers accidentally scraped of the top of a pallet of pultost, which in turn ended up with spilling half the pallet of pultost on the floor. And 4 poor lads where gagging like mad for 30 minutes, while cleaning this shit. You could smell it in the whole damn warehouse for the rest of the day!
As for gammelost. It’s a brown stinking cheese. I love mouldy cheese, but even for me, this one’s too bad for even me to consider tasting.

I have family in Vik kommune (where gamalost is produced), and i got served both gamalost and mylsa when i was a kid. And they really taste aweful. Mylsa might be edible, but gamalost taste like wax.

Most of these have rather strong taste and aroma, and is rather far from the fatty cheese tastes most are used to.
I’d say they are all worth a try. Perhaps start with the traditional skimmed sour milk cheese Gamalost. It is crumbly, slightly moist. Very pungent odor, sharp taste with lots and lots of umami. Serving suggestion: On a buttered (real butter) flatbread or knekkebrød, cut a pair of slices off of the cheese with a knife, a dollop of some summerhoney on top. A fine dusting (use very sparingly) of salt over.

Gomme is mildly disturbed prim if you have had that? Fairly benign. Gammalost is said to be good for your heart, and damn, it tastes and looks healthy! I have never had pultost, simply cause I am immature enough to mentally split it up as “pult ost”, and no. Just no.
