Norwegian nature and food culture on the plate

Norwegian food, nature and cultural heritage.

The richness of Norwegian nature has provided our people with great food treasures. Throughout history making Norwegian products such as white and brown goats cheese, cured meats and fish has been necessary for survival, and protecting the old ways is such an important mission.
As we go on walks or herding sheep, we aim to teach visitors about Norwegian food and heritage to keep our treasures and traditions alive in a world spinning faster and faster.
