Got some Black Lemon Gouda in the Christmas market at Oslo and fell in love. Unfortunately has proven impossible to find the states.

My daughter (American) and her fiancé (Norwegian) have asked me to bake a family favorite cheesecake for the reception. Is American sour cream and cream cheese hard to find in Oslo?
Thank you for any information.

I have trouble finding the cheeses I love.
I love Gudbransdals ost, Gauda and Gammalost.
The place I order my cheeses is always ‘out’.
I hope that I will be able to order these delicacies soon.

Ekte Geitost og Gudbrandsdals ost have been favorites since I first tasted them in the 60’s. I tried every cheese I could find in the almost 3 years I lived there, and loved them all. I would love to try the Norwegian Blue if I could find it, but, alas, I live in Thailand, and import duties are sick from any country outside of ASEAN!

In reply to Annora. There are no large scale producers (and I beleve 'feta' is regionally protected, so it will be called something else). Try at food festivals, there's usually a lot of smallscale producers there. As a somewhat near replacement you could try the different varieties of Chevre produced by Tine at Haukeli, which you will find in the more well stocked food shops like Meny.

I am looking for information on a cheese made here in the US, bur it uses Norwegian cultures. It’s called Bergenost. It’s the best cheese I have ever eaten. Unfortunately you can only buy it online now and it is extremely expensive to ship! Does anyone have a source?

Tried to like gjetost all my life until at went to visit family in Norway in 2006 and saw they ate it on crackers with jam or some kind of fruit. Now I love it; best on Wasa a crackers with lingonberries. Delicious. Not too hard to find Ski Queen brand in Vermont .

I’m not surprised the cheese slicer is Norwegian. My partner is a cobbled together >50% Norwegian American and cannot live without one. I’m Swedish American and only rarely used my cheese slicer before he moved in. We have very different ways of consuming cheese; the concept of a cooking cheese was foreign to him.
