Snøfrisk

Snøfrisk is a cream cheese product that originates from Norway. It is a white, semi-hard cheese made from a blend of goat's milk and cow's cream. The name "Snøfrisk" is Norwegian for "snow fresh".

History

Snøfrisk was first introduced to the market in 1994, during the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer, Norway. It was developed by the Norwegian dairy company Tine SA, which is the largest producer, distributor, and exporter of dairy products in Norway.

Production

Snøfrisk is made from 80% goat's milk and 20% cow's cream. The cheese is not aged and is therefore classified as a fresh cheese. The production process involves pasteurizing the milk and cream, adding a starter culture and rennet to coagulate the milk, and then draining the whey to leave behind the cheese curds. The curds are then mixed with salt and packaged for sale.

Varieties

There are several varieties of Snøfrisk, including plain, herb, and pepper. The herb variety is mixed with various herbs and spices, while the pepper variety is mixed with crushed black pepper.

Usage

Snøfrisk is often used as a spread on bread, crackers, or bagels. It can also be used in cooking, for example in sauces, dips, or as a topping for baked potatoes. Its mild, creamy flavor pairs well with a variety of foods, including fruits, vegetables, and smoked salmon.
