Cheese of the month July 2013: Grotteost from Hitra Gårdsmat

Veröffentlicht amAutorUrsula HeinzelmannKommentar hinterlassen

I’d like to be completely open about one thing straight away: you won’t find this cheese just around the corner, even worse, you won’t find it pretty much around any corner. Nevertheless Grotteost, the cave cheese Bodil Birkeland makes on the Hitra island in Norway, is my cheese of the month.
