Time To Set Off On A Journey Through Norway

Norway is a severe yet beautiful country known for its breathtaking fjords, rocky mountains, and deep shoreline waters. Its cuisine is a true reflection of its authentic landscape. Norwegian cuisine is all about high-quality and fresh local ingredients to highlight simplicity and ecological purity of national foods and drinks.

We’re starting our journey in Oslo, Bergen, and Trondheim, and then move on to small fishing villages on the coast to explore Norway’s unique culinary experiences. Undoubtedly, seafood has always been a staple of Norwegian diet. Norway's cold, clear waters share their abundance so that we could savor traditional gravlaks (cured salmon), rakfisk (fermented trout), and a wide range of fresh shellfish.

The meat favorites of Norwegian cuisine are game meats, in particular reindeer, moose, and grouse. In Norway game meats are normally prepared with almost no spices to emphasize their natural taste. These dishes remind of Norway's strong connection to hunting traditions.

Common Norwegian fare encompasses various dishes like hearty  fårikål (lamb and cabbage stew) and Lutefisk (dried whitefish reconstituted in lye) which are one of the cornerstones of the country’s culinary heritage.

Norway's bakery and pastry culture is an important part of its dining culture. Bread, pastries, and cakes come in various styles and flavors. Knekkebrød (crispbread) and Krumkake (a thin, rolled cake) are must-tries.

 A glass of Akevitt, a traditional Norwegian spirit will be a perfect match with your meal. And we’ll certainly have a pint of one of the country's best selling craft beers.
