If you’re a fan of quality cheese, Norway
is the place to go. Norway cemented its NORWAY – AN EMERGING FOODIE DESTINATION
position as a genuine cheese destination
when its blue cheese, Kraftkar, was voted
the world's best cheese in the World
Cheese Awards 2016. This accolade was
further boosted by the Norwegian producer
Ostegården winning gold for its aged Gouda-
style Fanaost cheese in the 2018 awards
hosted in Bergen.
Norway is somewhat of an emerging foodie
destination where a culinary revolution
has taken place in the last few years with
restaurants and dining spots featuring
local and organic food. This new-found
pride draws on Norwegian food traditions
and ingredients: sheep and goats grazing
in outlying pastures along the coast and in
the mountains; a climate ideal for growing
fruit, berries and vegetables, and milk,
cheese and beef produced in healthy
environments. And of course there is
Norway's extensive coastline with long
and rich seafood traditions.
To top it off, Norway is also amongst
the world’s top three coffee-consuming
countries, and it is constantly rising to
the challenge of trying to brew the best
coffees on the planet. The nation is up
there with craft beer as well, with hundreds
of microbreweries experimenting with
different brews.
