New cheeses

We had a quick chat with the general manager of Himmelspannet, Janne Trandem, about the fact that they are launching two new cheeses these days.

Today, Himmelspannet makes four cheeses, says Janne, but soon two new flavors will join the growing family.

- All our cheeses are named after or take inspiration from mountain peaks and landmarks in Hemsedal. So far we have Raudberg, Skogshorn, Geiteberget and Solglad. The new cheeses will be called Harahorn and Fausko, and contain ingredients collected from nature in the area they are named after.

- Our new Harahorn cheese contains rock mint from the oregano genus that grows here in Hemsedal up to 1,000 meters above sea level. The other is called Fausko and is based on cow's milk with added chives and pepper, says Janne.

You can find the cheeses in the local stores in Hemsedal as well as in Meny shops all over Norway.
