Brown cheese is technically not a cheese, as it's not made from curds. When making cheese, some poor Norwegians boiled down the whey after removing the curds, and that is the basis for the brown cheese. As you saw in the supermarket, there are different verisions of brown cheese. You choose "Fløtemysost", which is a very mild version made from cows milk. Some types are made from a mix of cow and goat, while others are made from pure goat milk. One serving tip is to put it on warm toast together with some jam. "Leverpostei" is quite popular with kids, which is one reason why they put pictures of kids on the label. I prefer to eat it on good bread with pickled cucumbers and black pepper.
@@pep456 If you want a pure goat cheese you can try "Ekte Gjeitost" (translates to "real goat cheese"), which is in a blue packaging. I personally prefer a blend of goat and cow milk, generally just called "Gudbrandsdalen" or "G35", that is in a red package. The name is the same as the valley where it originated. All of these are from the brand "Tine". Other brands might have different packaging.

When I first visited Norway in the 1990s, I was told that one should throw away the Grandiosa Pizza, and eat the box. It would be better, they said. Over the years, however, people seem to have become quite nostalgic for Grandiosa, and in spite of the influx of more exotic pizzas, such as Peppe's, the Grandiosa still maintains a solid base of support. Even the crowned prince eats it...
@@AnnaGoldmanTravel i think is just because its cheap and simple. No one in norway is craving grandiosa😂 but its better if you leave it for a few more minutes. Great vid
Nostalgia sums it up pretty well. I also think the fact that it's a relatively healthy pizza, appeals to some people. The more exotic alternatives contain a lot more fat, salt and whatnot.
@@DillaryHuff true! ☺️ Also everything should be balanced. You can’t have pizza every day neither you can’t have only apples for a long time 😉 Happiness as well as Heath is all about balance 🤗
The salt on everything is a common Nordic tradition, that we share with sweden and Finland. All these countries has used salt for concervation. From old ages, salt dryed fish was considered a snack.
The goat cheese has been at room temperature for too long - into the fridge with it - then you get proper slices. You can buy Jarlberg in many stores all over the world - large exports to the US.
I thought so 😆 totally my fault, I was filming Brunost for some time in frond of the window 🙄 but now it’s fine 😉 Lucky States! I have never tried Jarlsberg before ☺️ but now I’m definitely getting it for my friends, I have plenty of cheese lovers who would absolutely love to try Norwegian cheese
@@AnnaGoldmanTravel Also, the first slice will never be nice looking, because of the wrapping paper fucking it up. The most popular one is the red one (Gudbrandsdalsost). At Chistmas they have a special edition one (Julebrunost) with a little cardamom. Personally that is my favorite.

I think most people use butter on the bread, and there are many healthy types of butter, just ask in the store. And crispbread is not the typical Norwegian bread, it is also Kneip bread, sourdough bread or sunflower bread. YOU should try Caviar with white cheese on, it tastes good. Something that is good is Herring with hard-boiled eggs underneath, and yes, mayonnaise is good with Mackerel in tomato, try it! Here in the house, it is very popular to make pizza yourself, you can buy ready-made pizza bases in the store, and at the same time you take what you want on the pizza. Is at least much better than Grandiosa!
hahaha, there's an explanation for that, MrViking :D In Russia many people eat those foods too. And I'm sure Finns, Swedes and Balts eat them as well. Moreover, some of ethnicities in Russia even have rakfisk / surströmming analogues.
@@aspir133 general caviar and paté maybe, but not mackerell in tomato juice. That's unique to Norway as far as I know. The pink caviar of cod in tubes are also not common elsewhere but Sweden and Norway.
9:55 Accurate reaction if you say Kit Kat and Kvikk Lunsj are the same, only difference is, you might get a rock or stick instead of pillows, or what ever else is in arms reach
The best browncheese is the almost chokolate color looking of goat milk. Very good in " Klubb and duppe" sauce with the chesse, milk and flour dumplings to go wih crispy pork " sideflesk".
Good morning Anna 🙂 Thank you for this nice video. I got a real pleasure for watching it with some short time funny. And about the contain, this will give me a good idea of what to expect when I'm in Norway. Have a sunny day. So, I hope 😉😎Take good care of yourself, Anna🙏🌞🙂
@@AnnaGoldmanTravel They did something even more sinister around 5 years ago! You could order a single piece of Smash for a friend or enemy. Someone had one sent to me. I still have it somewhere. Never found out who did it...
I think we probably have an acquired taste for salt after centuries of curing meats and fish for preservation. Just a wild guess. Also salt and sweet is just a great combo in snacks. Milk chocolate and sea salt is dangerously good.
I was a solder once, on tour of duty in Kosovo. While there, I was working with some Italian soldiers. They got to try Grandiosa. It was the only thing to eat other than military rations. I asked how they liked the pizza and was told sternly that it wasn't pizza! :D PS. There is a crisp you should have tried that I haven't seen anywhere else. Pig skin that have been fried and seasoned and sold as crisps. Its silly good!
I am from Serbia and for me the most schoking food in Norway was "souerkraute", or sweet and sour cabbage. The rest was eatable 🙃, even Grandioza, especially if you add some extra cheese and ham on top.
Aww thank you so much 🤩🤗🤗🤗 Norwegian language you mean? No, I don’t 🙂 I’m temporary in Norway and will leave the country as soon as my contract here is finished 😉
You even enjoyed the herring, that's impressive! Some years ago I was visiting Namibia. I am very fond of chips, but each an every one of the chip-types had vinegar in it. Which is something that I don't like. I couldn't understand why all this vinegar?
☺️ I absolutely love trying new things 🙂 especially local food. Chips with vinegar? That sounds more like England 😁 any seaside there will serve you fish&chips and offer to cover your dish in vinegar 😁 Namibia! WoW! Sounds so cool! I would love to visit one day
What is the big black wall in the kitchen? Is that a backsplash? I originally thought it was a roaster/smoker for whale or reindeer. Jarlsberg is one of the cheeses high in vitamin k2. I eat muenster for vitamin k2. My dad was Finnish-American so I grew up eating fish and crispbread.
You should also try Nokelost (cheese), Stratos Chocolate, Lefse (potato pancakes) w/ fresh crushed strawberries just to name a few. Lol now I am hungry.
My great grandmother was part of inventing the cheese slicer.. Her name was Anna. And at our cabin.. 2km away.. Anne invented brown cheese. Small world.
I'm going to Kongsberg next month and I did like your channel very much! Keep doing these content! The pizza that you tried in this video is from local supermarket, right? Did you eat some pizza from local pizza stores?
There's plenty of great smaller pizza restaurants in Norway, but stay away from the bigger chains like Peppes or Dominos. I've heard good things about Jonas B pizza in Kongsberg, but they are quite popular so I couldn't get a table last time I was there.
Freia chocolate is part of Kraft/Mondelez group if you want to know, difficult indeed to be in competition with them. For the leverpostei, when I was a kid, I used to make sandwiches made of this in the end of month in Canada, we call it in French Paris paté. I really like knokkbrød and Jalsberg cheese. I would like to try the boiled cheese if I can find any in mt cheese shop near home. I will be looking next time. Great videos and informative by the way👍👍
Its called brown cheese, not boiled cheese and its amazing on either new baked bread, crisp bread….or my favorite on Norwegian waffles with strawberry jam and butter, you can probably buy Tine brunost online. «Fløtemyseost» is my favorite, its a bit milder than the G35 original brunost. Btw Freia was founded in 1889 by Throne-Holst. Based on the success in Norway, the Throne-Holst family founded the Marabou chocolate factory in Sundbyberg outside Stockholm in Sweden in 1916. So Marabou (one of Swedens most popular chocolate brand) was actually founded by a Norwegian. Due to an existing Swedish trademark, a different name had to be chosen for the Swedish factory, and it was then chosen to take the species name of the bird in Freia's logo, the Marabou stork, as a starting point. In 1990, Freia bought all the shares in Marabou. In 1992, Norsk Hydro sold its shares in Freia Marabou to the Philip Morris company Kraft General Foods. From 2012 the owner has been Mondelēz International. After Kraft's acquisition, most of the operations and production of Feia chocolate are still left at Freia's factory in Oslo. (thank god for that cause Freia chocolate is something that can never be tampered with, cause the chocolate is amazing and taste natural not artificial as most American candy does).
@@In_my_own_mind thanks for the tip for "buying online brunost cheese", but I won't. I have great cheese shops here and since we have free exchange rules with EU (I'm 🇨🇦), I will haunt one these there first. Marabou was once sold here also...and thanks for the infos for Freya brand candies, I've already read it online. Hope to visit this great country in my lifetime...and maybe retire there. I don't mind the heafty tax when the community receives services in exchange. Have a great day.
The face part of the ''Leverpostei'' has just always been like an ''tradition'' in Norway. They represents the brands core values, charm, playfulness and a ''twinkle in the eye''.
Don't know if you have watched the Smash advertising, but it actually says " Det skal godt gjøres å spise bare en " which basically means. " It will be a good job if you can eat only one "
Not sure if it is widely available in eastern Norway, but if you would like to challenge yourself (and perhaps keep the puke bowl really close by), you could try out Gammalost (translate to Old Cheese - Which is based on how it looks and smell. Interestingly it is a cheese that matures really quickly, so it is in fact anything but old 😂). It is something that absolutely is an aquired taste. I would recommend it on either knekkebrød or a loaf of bread with a decent layer of butter (that will make the taste a bit milder). Personally I absolutely love it... But I'm kinda weird 🤣 Loving your content, Anna. If your stay here ends while we still have the pandemic restrictions, I hope you get to come back and work here again sometime, when our society is a bit more normal 😊👍
Ohhhhh I’m a chocoholic…… so now I have to find that brand of chocolate!!!! Where am I going to find that in Canada?! 🇨🇦 Thanks for a great video!!!!!! I always find food from other countries so interesting!!!
I can tell you that you haven't experienced Norwegian food until you have eaten Lutefisk. I'm 74, and can still remember pretending to be to sick to eat when my mom made it. Legend has it that half the Norwegians who immigrated to the U.S. from Norway did so to get away from the Lutefisk tradition, only to find it again in Minnesota, Wisconsin, North Dakota, and of course Seattle.
Constantí Montsó i Cadena fa 15 minuts Great video and very well explained! My wife and me are thinking about moving to Norway and your channel is very helpful! Keep it up! One question though: it's striking for us to notice all the videosabout groceries and food products in Norway are only considering supermarkets and all of them packaged! there are little to none fresh products! Even fish! What a lot of plastic waste! Have the norwegians gone more environmentally friendly recently and thought of other more eco-friendly ways of shopping? Also eating healthier with fresh food?
Thank you very much indeed 🤗 I’m so happy to help! Regarding packing - you can choose paper option 🙂 but yes, I agree, it’s still a lot of products packed in plastic. No matter that it’s called ‘recyclable’ it’s still plastic. Fresh fish and meat you can buy from the butcher or fish market; or from a special counter in some larger supermarkets here. If you like things like octopus and squid you’ll be very happy with the prices here 😉 as they are even lower than in Italy
@@AnnaGoldmanTravel We love octopus! Ever heard of "pulo a feira"? It's a delicious Galician dish... You should try if you ever go to Spain! Anyway, thanks for the tips. Indeed, it's surprising for us. Although it's not very common here yet, more and more shops are adapting to allow their customers to purchase in bulk so we can reuse tupperwares and bags. Maybe there's something similar in Norway but is even less known than in our contry. Thanks again, bye
Judging from my family members that emigrated to Norway the most Norwegian comfort food is Fiskepudding or fishpudding. Sliced, fried it’s seemingly typically served in Kindergarten and school
Try smoked whale. Even though it's typical Norwegian I eat it with ruccula and tzatziki. In most areas, this whale meat is only available at the fishmonger (fiskebutikk). A bit expensive but oh heavenly.
The puke bowl is for lutefisk. My mom (rip) told us tales of her parents (from Bergen) making lutefisk in the traditional way. I was told it is just rotting herring, hence the puke bowl. Warning: steer clear. Still have cousins in Bergen and have been trying to contact them by phone. One of them is the Olympic race walker, Trond Nymark. The public parks are wonderful :) in the summer (schwing). Norwegian Nordic team comes over to acclimate and practice on our Olympic facilities before competitions in North America. Love to have dinner conversations with the athletes.
Anyone who visit Norway should try the soda called Urge. Then there is the Vestlandslefse, Vossafår, raspeballer, flest and duppe and lutefisk. Kjøttkaker is a very good dinner.
@@AnnaGoldmanTravel Yes you must try. Im a really chees-lover. If shall try the really old ounce I recomend you to try PULTOST from Løyten (the small box, you can by in Kiwi i now.) and Gammalost Ohh you get schock 🤣🤣

Jarlsberg cheese is exported to many countries and many love the special taste not found in similar cheeses. The brown cheese shown in the video is not goat cheese. The real goat cheese is called Geitost in Norwegian. Brown cheese should be served cold from the refrigerator. Otherwise it will be hard to slice as shown in the video. The chosen brown cheese in the video is called Fløtemysost and is made of cow milk. This is the one with the most gentle taste and probably most suited to foreigners trying brown cheese for the first time. The most purchased one in Norway is probably Gudbrandsdalsost. It's made from both goat milk and cow mild and has a slightly stronger taste. This is the one the Norwegians love the most. Geitost is made of only goat milk and has a sharper taste. This version is loved by older Norwegians and those who like the stronger taste from goat milk. In Norway we usually eat brown cheese with Norwegian butter (the best variant is the pure butter called Meierismør). One way to eat this is to use toast bread slices and put butter and slices of brown cheese on them. Then the warmth from the toast will slightly melt the butter and brown cheese. Very delicious. Another way of eating brown cheese is with knekkebrød with butter and brown cheese. The most used knekkebrød is the Swedish brand Wasa (Husman and Frukost are the most used). A third and quite popular way is to use brown cheese with butter on Norwegian waffles. It's very tasty. Some even add strawberry jam on the waffles with brown cheese. It sounds weird, but is supposed to be a great combination. static.wixstatic.com/media/65b21e_072f7a1b57224533b460aa49b7f8460e~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_740,h_416,al_c,q_90/65b21e_072f7a1b57224533b460aa49b7f8460e~mv2.webp The reason children faces are shown on the Stabburet liverpaste package is because the taste is so mild even children can eat it. It's liverpaste made for children. We have liverpaste with much stronger taste. Another reason is that the first boy used as a motive was the son of the Stabburet CEO and the tradition has been kept since then. The first boy is now 68 years old. Many Norwegians use liverpaste on slices of bread or knekkebrød with butter and sliced pickles. cdn.blogg.no/content/uploads/sites/533/2018/12/08163522/20170410_155452-2006418-11-1491856291661-n400.jpg Caviar is often eaten using slices of break or knekkebrød with butter and hard boiled egg slices. Then you add the caviar on top of the egg in stripes like this. www.matstart.no/oppskrifter/etter-skoletid/brodskive-med-egg-og-kaviar/
@@ivarnordlkken8082 if you like "brown cheese" that is good for you i suppose, but nothing grinds my gears as much as having visitors that destroy my jarlsberg/norwegia by leaving brown spots on em with the same slicer! Yuck
You should try the salty licorice. The salty Licorice we had in Finland and Sweden is super popular. The salty taste is actually from ammonium chloride. To be honest, it is unpleasant to people who expected “candy” to be sweet. It was so popular in Finland that they threatened to leave the EU if they went ahead with their plan to restrict its sale. The EU relented and just had them place a warning on the labels that it was not for kids.
Uses cheese slicer for the first time: “mind blown” How do you name it in Norwegian? We borrowed the concept in the Netherlands and we call it “kaasschaaf”
@@ivarnordlkken8082 Sure, but it's not like Norwegians eat it in the same way as Mexicans. From what I hear, Norwegian taco is barely recognizable to a Mexican. I haven't tried "real" Mexican tacos though. Also, by that logic, Pizza is Italian.
The best Grandiosa in my opinion is the Pepperoni one. Unless the very rare Full Pakke is available. But that only happens once in a blue moon. Could be years until next time... Other than that there are several nice frozen pizzas from other brands but if you want to have some really good pizza you'd buy it from a place that makes more real pizza. Frozen pizza is more for lazy days
@@AnnaGoldmanTravel You wanted foods that define Norway and no matter what I personally like there is no doubt that the original Grandiosa is close to the Norwegian heart 😉 no matter how bland it may be. You picked the right one for the video don't worry ☺️ I have to thank you on the warm and kind words about my country. Every video I've seen has been well made and thought through. By far the best videos I've seen from someone visiting the place. We Norwegians love being told how nice we have it here even with Janteloven 😁 Enjoy yourself in London and be careful with the unnamed virus of unknown origin.
I can confirm Jarlsberg can be eaten on its own. I'd wind up having that whole wedge by the end of the day if I didn't feel like exercising any self-control. 😎
the kids on the liverpaste cans are a tradition from before oil. It was meant to showcase the health of he children eating it. For adults there are maaaaany other liverpastes to explore here. in norway Macrill in can with tomato saus, we call it "fly krasj" or "Linjefeil hos nsb." it looks like a trainwreck does it not? Add coarse black pepper, on rye or grov kneip... Damn... that shit is good. few "snake cubumer" slices on that thing... maybe go all out and add extra a crapload of thinnest slices know to man, Frossen pizza. Prøv dr oetker fire oster. legg på det du har i lkøleskapet som topping fem minutter for endt steketid :)
For non-Norwegians, and mostly for Americans, keep in mind that Anna is originally from Russia. So, the caviar paste and other fish, might not be too different than foods she's used to. I'll try anything. But, some fish is too much for me....I'm sure the American candy company got the Kit-Kat idea from this Norwegian treat. That happens, often.
Brunost actually means «brown cheese» brun means «brown» and ost is «cheese» if you didnt know. :) (yes i am Norwegian and if you wanna know more let me know)
Kvikk Lunsj DID start out being based on the original Kit Kat recipe, but we Norwegians hated it. So a much better version was made, and thus Kvikk Lunsj was born. It has been the most eaten chocolate in Norway ever since. Try to compare a Kit Kat and Kvikk Lunsj side by side, and the differences are quite noticeable.
Been to Norway, it was wonderful except the train ride over the mountains. Went to Sweden too. Only for a very short time. It was twenty years or so ago. I got addicted to a citrus drink and got as many back to the States as I could. I can’t remember the name of it but it was everywhere so I didn’t go thirsty. I would love to go back for a long stay. Freyja (Swedish spelling) is my cats name. No put down Freyja but I couldn’t remember or find the name of the cat that pulls Her chariot. I wouldn’t be surprised if Norway closed Her borders with the way the US is treating Us. I would think there would be a mass exodus out of here. I loved my time spent there! I need to learn the language. My ex didn’t even attempt to talk Norwegian. I think that it is rude not to try, after all We were the visitors!
@@jeffstevens156 I think you're mixing up something. Lilt was sold in the UK, not Scandinavia (except maybe some special import). It's now rebranded as Fanta pineapple and grapefruit. They may not be sold everywhere, but I believe they can ship anywhere. The citrus-flavours, uniquie to Norway at that time, would have been Solo (deep orange, orange flavor) and Urge (weird citrus mix, sold as Surge in the US but discontinued in the 90's). Then many brands of uncolored "sitronbrus" or "brus med sitronsmak" (sprite/7-up copies) and of course Scwheppes and Coca cola co has many citrus flavors. I can't think of anything else in Norway, that's not local/no-name brands or energy-drink types.

Here in the house, it is very popular to make pizza yourself, you can buy ready-made pizza bases in the store, and at the same time you take what you want on the pizza. Is at least much better than Grandiosa!
God damn! You must be the first foreigner that actually liked kaviar, leverpostei _and_ makrell i tomat! Well done :)
Aww thank you so much ☺️🤗 I actually love it so much 😁
@@AnnaGoldmanTravel If you haven't yet, then you should try a slice of bread with hard boiled egg and kaviar. It's really nice.
@@DivineFalcon that sounds like a great idea actually ☺️ definitely! As soon as I’m back to Norway 😉🤗
hahaha, there's an explanation for that, MrViking :D In Russia many people eat those foods too. And I'm sure Finns, Swedes and Balts eat them as well. Moreover, some of ethnicities in Russia even have rakfisk / surströmming analogues.
@@aspir133 general caviar and paté maybe, but not mackerell in tomato juice. That's unique to Norway as far as I know. The pink caviar of cod in tubes are also not common elsewhere but Sweden and Norway.
I would recommend using a cheese slicer with a "wave" pattern for soft cheese(brunost) and the straight pattern for harder cheese (Jarlsberg)
9:55 Accurate reaction if you say Kit Kat and Kvikk Lunsj are the same, only difference is, you might get a rock or stick instead of pillows, or what ever else is in arms reach
Kvikk Lunsj is a copy-cat product adopted by Freja after the son of the chocolate factory tasted Kit-Kat.
The best browncheese is the almost chokolate color looking of goat milk. Very good in " Klubb and duppe" sauce with the chesse, milk and flour dumplings to go wih crispy pork " sideflesk".
Good morning Anna 🙂 Thank you for this nice video. I got a real pleasure for watching it with some short time funny. And about the contain, this will give me a good idea of what to expect when I'm in Norway. Have a sunny day. So, I hope 😉😎Take good care of yourself, Anna🙏🌞🙂
The first commercials for Smash was with the slogan "you can't have only one", so your reaction gave me a chuckle. ;)
This is so true 🤣🤣🤣 terrible people! I smashed the whole pack in 1 weekend 🙄
@@AnnaGoldmanTravel They did something even more sinister around 5 years ago!
You could order a single piece of Smash for a friend or enemy.
Someone had one sent to me. I still have it somewhere. Never found out who did it...
@@panzerveps 😱😱😱😱😱 thats a crazy one indeed! Gosh how could the create such an idea 🤣🤣
Brilliant marketing!
I think we probably have an acquired taste for salt after centuries of curing meats and fish for preservation. Just a wild guess. Also salt and sweet is just a great combo in snacks. Milk chocolate and sea salt is dangerously good.
Ohh so true! That Freya chocolate bar with waffles and sold 😌 I can never get enough of it 😁
Most of the Norwegians use a Grandiosa as a substitute bottom for the pizza
You get a little more flavor
with a little pinch of sea salt
i love ry krisp here in usa.dry breads are awesome.
I was a solder once, on tour of duty in Kosovo. While there, I was working with some Italian soldiers. They got to try Grandiosa. It was the only thing to eat other than military rations. I asked how they liked the pizza and was told sternly that it wasn't pizza! :D
PS. There is a crisp you should have tried that I haven't seen anywhere else. Pig skin that have been fried and seasoned and sold as crisps. Its silly good!
Well me too would go for the pig skin doubt free. Pizza is something not to mess with (in presence of armed Italians...) :v
Pork cracklings are all over 😊

Anna Ilove your videos you do a great job and I love your smile!
Aww thank you so much indeed, Joshua 🤗
I’m so happy you enjoyed them 😉
Hey Anna! Im new at your channel! You are super girl and your blogs are much appritiate! Could you please make a video about work in Norway? Thanks
😃
hehe nice video
Anna you made me proud with this vdeo...
Do you make your own lefse over there? I was raised on the brown goat cheese (my folks just called it "gjetost"; and I still love it... :)
knekkebrød, imgen feil uttale der. Energien din er utrolig bra!
Great videos!
Thank you 🤗
I'm going on a cruise next year and I'll be visiting your beautiful country!
Have you done a video on traditional Norwegian breakfast foods? Several of these items are also common in Iceland too!
I am from Serbia and for me the most schoking food in Norway was "souerkraute", or sweet and sour cabbage. The rest was eatable 🙃, even Grandioza, especially if you add some extra cheese and ham on top.
We love sauerkraut in the United States! Especially the midwest.
In northern Norway, whale meat is a tradition, and much of it in the spring and summer in connection with barbecue.
Whale bbq?? Wow! This is what I never tried yet ☺️ I bet it is very nice 🙂
Whale steaks is to be found both on the store ,fishtrucks and other places.
never had whale meat here down south lol
Hey! Nice video! 🤩I eat this brown cheese every morning! 😃Are you having a Norwegian course?
Aww thank you so much 🤩🤗🤗🤗 Norwegian language you mean? No, I don’t 🙂 I’m temporary in Norway and will leave the country as soon as my contract here is finished 😉
You even enjoyed the herring, that's impressive! Some years ago I was visiting Namibia. I am very fond of chips, but each an every one of the chip-types had vinegar in it. Which is something that I don't like. I couldn't understand why all this vinegar?
☺️ I absolutely love trying new things 🙂 especially local food.
Chips with vinegar? That sounds more like England 😁 any seaside there will serve you fish&chips and offer to cover your dish in vinegar 😁
Namibia! WoW! Sounds so cool! I would love to visit one day
Namibia was a German colony. That may be a possible explanation for the ubiquitousness of vinegar there.
@@SYLFan2008 So it's not just an english tradition then? Well, it still won't change my mind about it.
What is the big black wall in the kitchen? Is that a backsplash? I originally thought it was a roaster/smoker for whale or reindeer. Jarlsberg is one of the cheeses high in vitamin k2. I eat muenster for vitamin k2. My dad was Finnish-American so I grew up eating fish and crispbread.
You should also try Nokelost (cheese), Stratos Chocolate, Lefse (potato pancakes) w/ fresh crushed strawberries just to name a few. Lol now I am hungry.
🤩🤩🤩 definitely in my list!! Cheese and chocolate can never go wrong for me 😁
4:51 who is walking behind camera?

I just got back from Norway and I tried all these food items.
Hello from northen America.
My family on my mum and dads side are from norway and Sweden.
Ha en flott dag.
Hello there ☺️🤗🤗
Ohh wow! Great combination!
Have you ever been to Scandinavia yourself? 🙂
@@AnnaGoldmanTravel no but i dream of going and even living there one day. Im working on learning the language as well.
My great grandmother was part of inventing the cheese slicer.. Her name was Anna. And at our cabin.. 2km away.. Anne invented brown cheese. Small world.
Our old cabin is Still called Annasæter.. Googlie it if you dont trust me
I'm going to Kongsberg next month and I did like your channel very much! Keep doing these content! The pizza that you tried in this video is from local supermarket, right? Did you eat some pizza from local pizza stores?
There's plenty of great smaller pizza restaurants in Norway, but stay away from the bigger chains like Peppes or Dominos.
I've heard good things about Jonas B pizza in Kongsberg, but they are quite popular so I couldn't get a table last time I was there.
If you are going to Kongsberg you should check out the old mines. There is a lot of them underground the city
@@panzerveps Jonas B is the best 🙌🏻
Freia chocolate is part of Kraft/Mondelez group if you want to know, difficult indeed to be in competition with them.
For the leverpostei, when I was a kid, I used to make sandwiches made of this in the end of month in Canada, we call it in French Paris paté.
I really like knokkbrød and Jalsberg cheese. I would like to try the boiled cheese if I can find any in mt cheese shop near home. I will be looking next time.
Great videos and informative by the way👍👍
Its called brown cheese, not boiled cheese and its amazing on either new baked bread, crisp bread….or my favorite on Norwegian waffles with strawberry jam and butter, you can probably buy Tine brunost online. «Fløtemyseost» is my favorite, its a bit milder than the G35 original brunost.
Btw Freia was founded in 1889 by Throne-Holst. Based on the success in Norway, the Throne-Holst family founded the Marabou chocolate factory in Sundbyberg outside Stockholm in Sweden in 1916. So Marabou (one of Swedens most popular chocolate brand) was actually founded by a Norwegian. Due to an existing Swedish trademark, a different name had to be chosen for the Swedish factory, and it was then chosen to take the species name of the bird in Freia's logo, the Marabou stork, as a starting point.
In 1990, Freia bought all the shares in Marabou. In 1992, Norsk Hydro sold its shares in Freia Marabou to the Philip Morris company Kraft General Foods. From 2012 the owner has been Mondelēz International.
After Kraft's acquisition, most of the operations and production of Feia chocolate are still left at Freia's factory in Oslo. (thank god for that cause Freia chocolate is something that can never be tampered with, cause the chocolate is amazing and taste natural not artificial as most American candy does).
@@In_my_own_mind thanks for the tip for "buying online brunost cheese", but I won't. I have great cheese shops here and since we have free exchange rules with EU (I'm 🇨🇦), I will haunt one these there first.
Marabou was once sold here also...and thanks for the infos for Freya brand candies, I've already read it online.
Hope to visit this great country in my lifetime...and maybe retire there. I don't mind the heafty tax when the community receives services in exchange.
Have a great day.
That pizza is probably popular because it is cheap. What did it cost? I love Jarlsberg cheese!!
39kr and it not the cheapest one
At sale u can get up to 5 for 10 euro, usually 4 for 10 euro. I would not eat it, even though it cost 10 cent per pizza. No taste on it...
Nice video
The face part of the ''Leverpostei'' has just always been like an ''tradition'' in Norway.
They represents the brands core values, charm, playfulness and a ''twinkle in the eye''.
🤩🤩 great comment! Thank you very much indeed 🤗
Have a great week ahead ☺️
@@AnnaGoldmanTravel You aswell, Anna!
squeeky fresh cheese curds and string cheese are very popular in usa. colby cheese and sharp cheddar cheese are very popular in the usa.
Next time you do this I suggest to try Hockey Pulver, it is delishious. 🤣
the best ;D
What cheese? Can we buy them in the US?
Haha jeg er fra Norge dette er så morsomt å se på dette for meg😂
In Norway we don’t have tradition to use Solo Super, it is a new Solo! We have tradition to use original Solo with sugar!
I live in norway and I love the food
Don't know if you have watched the Smash advertising, but it actually says " Det skal godt gjøres å spise bare en " which basically means. " It will be a good job if you can eat only one "
For real?? Well they are so right saying this 😆 I couldn’t stop until I smashed almost all of them!
Very tasty but really addictive 🙄
@@AnnaGoldmanTravel rumors has it that is was made to stop us from going raiding, and thus it stopped the viking age.
Not sure if it is widely available in eastern Norway, but if you would like to challenge yourself (and perhaps keep the puke bowl really close by), you could try out Gammalost (translate to Old Cheese - Which is based on how it looks and smell. Interestingly it is a cheese that matures really quickly, so it is in fact anything but old 😂). It is something that absolutely is an aquired taste. I would recommend it on either knekkebrød or a loaf of bread with a decent layer of butter (that will make the taste a bit milder). Personally I absolutely love it... But I'm kinda weird 🤣
Loving your content, Anna. If your stay here ends while we still have the pandemic restrictions, I hope you get to come back and work here again sometime, when our society is a bit more normal 😊👍
would love to see you visit the usa and go to a hyvee or a jungle jim store. even a super target food store is massive.
Man i went to usa and got shocked from Just a single gas station. Its was almost as big if not bigger than most stores in norway 😂
sweet + salty = delicious!
True! There’s something about it 😉
Solo = Fanta. How i now it? Im from Norge
when it comes to the grandiosa i prefer to put extra ingredients ontop of it. like whatever you think fits. it's an alright base for most things.
Ohhhhh I’m a chocoholic…… so now I have to find that brand of chocolate!!!! Where am I going to find that in Canada?! 🇨🇦
Thanks for a great video!!!!!! I always find food from other countries so interesting!!!
I can tell you that you haven't experienced Norwegian food until you have eaten Lutefisk. I'm 74, and can still remember pretending to be to sick to eat when my mom made it. Legend has it that half the Norwegians who immigrated to the U.S. from Norway did so to get away from the Lutefisk tradition, only to find it again in Minnesota, Wisconsin, North Dakota, and of course Seattle.
NOOOO not ludefisk! I live in Minnesota and they have darn lutefisk feeds all the time! I am of Swedish origin.
When I was studying I lived on makrel i tomat på knekkebrød, or maybe rice

Great video and very well explained! My wife and me are thinking about moving to Norway and your channel is very helpful! Keep it up!
One question though: it's striking for us to notice all the videosabout groceries and food products in Norway are only considering supermarkets and all of them packaged! there are little to none fresh products! Even fish! What a lot of plastic waste!
Have the norwegians gone more environmentally friendly recently and thought of other more eco-friendly ways of shopping? Also eating healthier with fresh food?
Thank you very much indeed 🤗 I’m so happy to help!
Regarding packing - you can choose paper option 🙂 but yes, I agree, it’s still a lot of products packed in plastic. No matter that it’s called ‘recyclable’ it’s still plastic.
Fresh fish and meat you can buy from the butcher or fish market; or from a special counter in some larger supermarkets here. If you like things like octopus and squid you’ll be very happy with the prices here 😉 as they are even lower than in Italy
@@AnnaGoldmanTravel We love octopus! Ever heard of "pulo a feira"? It's a delicious Galician dish... You should try if you ever go to Spain!
Anyway, thanks for the tips. Indeed, it's surprising for us. Although it's not very common here yet, more and more shops are adapting to allow their customers to purchase in bulk so we can reuse tupperwares and bags. Maybe there's something similar in Norway but is even less known than in our contry.
Thanks again, bye
you need to try the mills kaviar tube thats more a red/orange color. it has more mayo in it so its not as strong as the blue one
🤩 WoW! Thats interesting! I will definitely try it ☺️ love Norwegian kaviar! Great stuff!
@@AnnaGoldmanTravel might sound disgusting but its actually really good on Norvegia or jarlsberg cheese to :)
Judging from my family members that emigrated to Norway the most Norwegian comfort food is Fiskepudding or fishpudding. Sliced, fried it’s seemingly typically served in Kindergarten and school
Well the cheese slicer is a thing what i dont have used bc i HATE cheese so yea but my mom and dad and just my whole family uses it
You Have My Favorite Soda *Solo.* 😃
Try smoked whale. Even though it's typical Norwegian I eat it with ruccula and tzatziki. In most areas, this whale meat is only available at the fishmonger (fiskebutikk). A bit expensive but oh heavenly.
I like Norwegian food. Lefse, sardines, pickled herring, salted dried fish, lutefisk in melted butter, krumkake and lingonberries.
The puke bowl is for lutefisk. My mom (rip) told us tales of her parents (from Bergen) making lutefisk in the traditional way. I was told it is just rotting herring, hence the puke bowl. Warning: steer clear. Still have cousins in Bergen and have been trying to contact them by phone. One of them is the Olympic race walker, Trond Nymark. The public parks are wonderful :) in the summer (schwing). Norwegian Nordic team comes over to acclimate and practice on our Olympic facilities before competitions in North America. Love to have dinner conversations with the athletes.
Anyone who visit Norway should try the soda called Urge. Then there is the Vestlandslefse, Vossafår, raspeballer, flest and duppe and lutefisk. Kjøttkaker is a very good dinner.
God bless U.
Hello, I really love brown chees, but you most taste Gudbrandsdalsost/G35.....you seems like very KOSELIG/friendley or nice.....🤗

@@melinakristinmercury9586 great one Melina 🤗 yeah.. alcohol prices 😖 they bite!
But local cheese 😌 you can never go wrong with cheese 🤗🤗🤗
Jarlsberg cheese is exported to many countries and many love the special taste not found in similar cheeses.
The brown cheese shown in the video is not goat cheese. The real goat cheese is called Geitost in Norwegian. Brown cheese should be served cold from the refrigerator. Otherwise it will be hard to slice as shown in the video.
The chosen brown cheese in the video is called Fløtemysost and is made of cow milk. This is the one with the most gentle taste and probably most suited to foreigners trying brown cheese for the first time.
The most purchased one in Norway is probably Gudbrandsdalsost. It's made from both goat milk and cow mild and has a slightly stronger taste. This is the one the Norwegians love the most.
Geitost is made of only goat milk and has a sharper taste. This version is loved by older Norwegians and those who like the stronger taste from goat milk.
In Norway we usually eat brown cheese with Norwegian butter (the best variant is the pure butter called Meierismør). One way to eat this is to use toast bread slices and put butter and slices of brown cheese on them. Then the warmth from the toast will slightly melt the butter and brown cheese. Very delicious.
Another way of eating brown cheese is with knekkebrød with butter and brown cheese. The most used knekkebrød is the Swedish brand Wasa (Husman and Frukost are the most used).
A third and quite popular way is to use brown cheese with butter on Norwegian waffles. It's very tasty. Some even add strawberry jam on the waffles with brown cheese. It sounds weird, but is supposed to be a great combination.

The reason children faces are shown on the Stabburet liverpaste package is because the taste is so mild even children can eat it. It's liverpaste made for children. We have liverpaste with much stronger taste. Another reason is that the first boy used as a motive was the son of the Stabburet CEO and the tradition has been kept since then. The first boy is now 68 years old.
Many Norwegians use liverpaste on slices of bread or knekkebrød with butter and sliced pickles.

Caviar is often eaten using slices of break or knekkebrød with butter and hard boiled egg slices. Then you add the caviar on top of the egg in stripes like this.

You should try arne børresen sausage with Jalapeño grill with cheese, those sausages beat Gilde's sausages👌
Guys i live in Norway and i know the foods is sooo yummy
What is your favorite Norwegian food?
Try all of it.👍
i would like dry fish. i never thought i would like herring until i tried it in austria.
Did you just use the same cheese slicer on both the fløtemysost and the jarlsberg? :-O The heresy!!
What's the problem? I do it all the time. Often I use both cheeses on one slice of bread for the combined taste.
@@ivarnordlkken8082 if you like "brown cheese" that is good for you i suppose, but nothing grinds my gears as much as having visitors that destroy my jarlsberg/norwegia by leaving brown spots on em with the same slicer! Yuck
You should try the salty licorice. The salty Licorice we had in Finland and Sweden is super popular. The salty taste is actually from ammonium chloride. To be honest, it is unpleasant to people who expected “candy” to be sweet. It was so popular in Finland that they threatened to leave the EU if they went ahead with their plan to restrict its sale. The EU relented and just had them place a warning on the labels that it was not for kids.
Any salad there
Can you go to Karl Johans Gate
"Why you have to put salt everywhere?!"
"OMG you cannot stop eating this..."
:)
You are crazily funny!! 10 points….
Salt makes the flavor pop
i love the jarlsberg it got great taste, the cheese that just got the name "gulost" dont taste a lot in my opinion its just to mild.
I've eaten versions of the crispy bread. Not bad.
🤩🤩🤩 aww that’s great! I bet it’s also very nice 🙂
Uses cheese slicer for the first time: “mind blown”
How do you name it in Norwegian?
We borrowed the concept in the Netherlands and we call it “kaasschaaf”
"Ostehøvel" is the Norwegian word for it
@@magnus2544 I’ll have more chance in pronouncing that then the other way around! 🤣
Just had to mention - try KitKat and KvikkLunsj side by side, you will definitly taste the difference.
So true 😁 Thank you ☺️🤗 happy new year! 🎊🎄🎁
you missed taco fredag but that is more assembly than one specific product, i guess
Hmmm how interesting! I’ll try it next time, thank you 😉
That’s what I definitely never tried yet
Hm, I thought taco was mexican....
@@ivarnordlkken8082 Sure, but it's not like Norwegians eat it in the same way as Mexicans. From what I hear, Norwegian taco is barely recognizable to a Mexican. I haven't tried "real" Mexican tacos though.
Also, by that logic, Pizza is Italian.
Solo is sooooo gooood
The best Grandiosa in my opinion is the Pepperoni one. Unless the very rare Full Pakke is available. But that only happens once in a blue moon. Could be years until next time... Other than that there are several nice frozen pizzas from other brands but if you want to have some really good pizza you'd buy it from a place that makes more real pizza. Frozen pizza is more for lazy days
🤩🤩 Pepperoni sounds cool actually!
I asked the guy in local Kiwi what’s the most popular one 😁 so it was the advice coming from the local 😉
@@AnnaGoldmanTravel You wanted foods that define Norway and no matter what I personally like there is no doubt that the original Grandiosa is close to the Norwegian heart 😉 no matter how bland it may be. You picked the right one for the video don't worry ☺️
I have to thank you on the warm and kind words about my country. Every video I've seen has been well made and thought through. By far the best videos I've seen from someone visiting the place. We Norwegians love being told how nice we have it here even with Janteloven 😁 Enjoy yourself in London and be careful with the unnamed virus of unknown origin.
What about vegan food in Norway?
I can confirm Jarlsberg can be eaten on its own. I'd wind up having that whole wedge by the end of the day if I didn't feel like exercising any self-control. 😎
the kids on the liverpaste cans are a tradition from before oil. It was meant to showcase the health of he children eating it. For adults there are maaaaany other liverpastes to explore here. in norway
Macrill in can with tomato saus, we call it "fly krasj" or "Linjefeil hos nsb." it looks like a trainwreck does it not? Add coarse black pepper, on rye or grov kneip... Damn... that shit is good. few "snake cubumer" slices on that thing... maybe go all out and add extra a crapload of thinnest slices know to man,
Frossen pizza. Prøv dr oetker fire oster. legg på det du har i lkøleskapet som topping fem minutter for endt steketid :)
For non-Norwegians, and mostly for Americans, keep in mind that Anna is originally from Russia. So, the caviar paste and other fish, might not be too different than foods she's used to. I'll try anything. But, some fish is too much for me....I'm sure the American candy company got the Kit-Kat idea from this Norwegian treat. That happens, often.
Great job! I was sure you would not like the kaviar and the stock fish. Since you are from east of the border, njema proplemo.
I actually love Norwegian kaviar from the tube ☺️ I find it the best addition to my boiled eggs 🙂
Brunost actually means «brown cheese» brun means «brown» and ost is «cheese» if you didnt know. :) (yes i am Norwegian and if you wanna know more let me know)
Kvikk Lunsj DID start out being based on the original Kit Kat recipe, but we Norwegians hated it. So a much better version was made, and thus Kvikk Lunsj was born. It has been the most eaten chocolate in Norway ever since. Try to compare a Kit Kat and Kvikk Lunsj side by side, and the differences are quite noticeable.
always amazed what candy companys in the usa that are not available in the usa. same with nestle and cadbury.
peperoni pizza rustica is with double pepperoni and double cheese and we just really love salt to answer 2 questions
Leverpostei you need cucumber on top it makes it much better

My favorite flavor is 3 cheeses
and im from Norway/Norge
Been to Norway, it was wonderful except the train ride over the mountains. Went to Sweden too. Only for a very short time. It was twenty years or so ago. I got addicted to a citrus drink and got as many back to the States as I could. I can’t remember the name of it but it was everywhere so I didn’t go thirsty. I would love to go back for a long stay. Freyja (Swedish spelling) is my cats name. No put down Freyja but I couldn’t remember or find the name of the cat that pulls Her chariot. I wouldn’t be surprised if Norway closed Her borders with the way the US is treating Us. I would think there would be a mass exodus out of here. I loved my time spent there! I need to learn the language. My ex didn’t even attempt to talk Norwegian. I think that it is rude not to try, after all We were the visitors!
Lilt was the drink I got addicted to. It’s really good. I don’t know if We have anything comparable.
@@jeffstevens156 I think you're mixing up something. Lilt was sold in the UK, not Scandinavia (except maybe some special import). It's now rebranded as Fanta pineapple and grapefruit. They may not be sold everywhere, but I believe they can ship anywhere. The citrus-flavours, uniquie to Norway at that time, would have been Solo (deep orange, orange flavor) and Urge (weird citrus mix, sold as Surge in the US but discontinued in the 90's). Then many brands of uncolored "sitronbrus" or "brus med sitronsmak" (sprite/7-up copies) and of course Scwheppes and Coca cola co has many citrus flavors. I can't think of anything else in Norway, that's not local/no-name brands or energy-drink types.
