Pultost
Pultost is a soft, mature Norwegian sour milk cheese flavored with caraway seeds. Like Gamalost, pultost has a long history in Norway. The cheese is made from skimmed milk that has been soured, similar to cultured buttermilk, flavoured with caraway and preserved with salt. Pultost is an acid-set cheese, and very low in fat. Pultost is found in two variants, spreadable and grainy. The spreadable variant has a stronger taste. Pultost is commonly either spread on bread, lefse or flatbread or served with boiled potatoes. Norwegian dairy products company Tine produces pultost at its dairy at Nybergsund in Trysil Municipality. Tine make three qualities: a spreadable, soft type called Løiten; a looser type with a dry and grainy texture called Hedemark; and another grainy type with stronger flavour called Lillehammer. Synnøve Finden is another manufacturer of pultost in Norway. The cheese mass is produced by Tine and processed further by Synnøve Finden. Synnøve Finden is promotin ...

List Of Cheeses
This is a list of cheeses by place of origin. Cheese is a milk-based food that is produced in wide-ranging flavors, textures, and forms. Hundreds of types of cheese from various countries are produced. Their styles, textures and flavors depend on the origin of the milk (including the animal's diet), whether they have been pasteurized, the butterfat content, the bacteria and mold, the processing, and aging. Herbs, spices, or wood smoke may be used as flavoring agents. The yellow to red color of many cheeses, such as Red Leicester, is normally formed from adding annatto. While most current varieties of cheese may be traced to a particular locale, or culture, within a single country, some have a more diffuse origin, and cannot be considered to have originated in a particular place, but are associated with a whole region, such as queso blanco in Latin America. Cheese is an ancient food whose origins predate recorded history. There is no conclusive evidence indicating wh ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Sour Milk Cheese
Acid-set or sour milk cheese is cheese that has been curdled (coagulated) by natural souring, often from lactic acid bacteria, or by the addition of acid. This type of cheese is technologically simple to produce. When making soft acid-set cheese using bacteria, the coagulum results from production of lactic acid by the starter microorganisms. Cheeses can be classified according to a variety of features including ripening characteristics, special processing techniques (such as cheddaring) or method of coagulation. Acid-setting is a method of coagulation that accounts for around 25% of cheese production. These are generally fresh cheeses like, queso blanco, quark (dairy product), quark and cream cheese. The other 75%, which includes almost all ripened cheeses, are rennet cheeses. Ricotta and most other whey cheeses are made by first heating the milk to between 90 and 92 degrees Celsius to create coprecipitation of casein and whey protein before addition of lactic or citric acid. ...

Caraway
Caraway, also known as meridian fennel and Persian cumin (''Carum carvi''), is a biennial plant in the family Apiaceae, native to western Asia, Europe, and North Africa.

Gamalost
Gamalost (Nynorsk; ''gammelost'' or ''gammalost'' in Bokmål) is a traditional Norwegian cheese. History Gamalost, which translates as ''old cheese'', was once a staple of the Norwegian diet. Like many traditional Norwegian foods, such as flat bread, dry salted meats and stockfish, Gamalost could be stored for long periods without refrigeration. The brownish-yellow cheese is firm, moist, coarse and often granular. Gamalost is rich in protein with low fat content, measuring 1% fat and 50% protein. Production To make Gamalost, lactic starter is added to skimmed cow's milk, causing it to sour. After several days of souring, the milk is slowly heated, before the curds are separated and pressed into forms. After removal from the forms, mold is introduced onto the surface of the cheese, either by exposure to the wooden walls of the form that is only used for Gamalost, or rubbed on by hand in the traditional method. The cheese is then allowed to cure for four to five weeks. The ripe ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Tine (company)
TINE SA () is the largest Norwegian dairy product cooperative consisting of around 15,000 farmers and 5,600 employees. As of 2013, it has a revenue of 20.4 billion Norwegian kroner (NOK) ($3.41bn, £2.04bn, €2.50bn). The parent company, TINE SA, is a cooperative society owned by its suppliers, the milk producers who deliver milk to the company. The corporation domestically offers the entire spectrum of dairy products, and in many dairy categories, Tine faces little or no domestic competition. This monopolistic position has led to criticism of Tine when shortages occur. Tine's internationally known products are Jarlsberg cheese, Snøfrisk goat cheese, Heidal cheese, Ridder cheese, and Ski-Queen (brunost). Tine is the most dominant of the thirteen agricultural cooperatives in Norway. History Dairy cooperatives in Norway go back to 1856, with the first nationwide dairy co-op ''Den Norske Meieriforening'' (the Norwegian Dairy Association) being founded in 1881. The company d ...
