Discovering Siri's Motivation
Oslo deserves a dedicated artisan cheese makery that showcases the incredible quality of Norwegian milk.
Norway: Home to Exceptional Milk
Renowned for its pristine nature and lush pastures, Norway boasts some of the world's finest milk. Our careful farming practices, cow breeds, and stringent regulations regarding animal health ensure unparalleled milk quality. By cherishing this invaluable resource, we can craft truly exceptional cheese.
Passion and Persistence: The Key Ingredients
Siri's unwavering passion lies in sharing her love for food and the joy it brings. She believes that sharing a meal is the epitome of human connection, fostering the most meaningful conversations. Being able to weave stories behind each dish fills her with pride and happiness.
Instilling Values in the Younger Generation
Siri is determined to instill in children a deep respect for the products they consume, teaching them that nothing comes without hard work. She firmly believes that the best things in life are the result of relentless dedication and effort.
The Rewarding Journey
Siri finds immense gratification in serving guests, particularly those who exude genuine interest and excitement. The opportunity to share her knowledge and ignite enthusiasm for Norwegian cheese fills her with energy. Witnessing a 24-year-old guest bowing in appreciation after savouring her creations sends chills down her spine—a testament to the joy food can spread.
Collaborating with Up Norway
"I want to collaborate with Up Norway because we share many of the same values. The team at Up Norway is dedicated and passionate, and we take great pride in having them as our partners."
Embark on cultural and culinary experiences
Thanks to the Scandinavian food revolution of the last few years, traditional dishes and their ingredients are back, looking cooler and tasting fresher than ever. Did you know that as of September 2022, Norway has 14 restaurants with a total of 17 stars in the Michelin guide? Or that Norwegians drink the most coffee in the world (after the Finns)?
Our food heritage is a part of our cultural identity and a valuable factor in empowering and enabling participation in Norwegian society. Eating and drinking your way through Norway is the perfect Foodie-adventure.
