Cider in Norway and Cider festival in Norway

Norwegian flag.

 

Where is Norway? North of the UK. East of the UK. 

But west of Sweden, and Finland.

Norway is known for its fjords. And gravadlax from salmon. I was pleased to learn that the gravad lax is frozen for more than 24 hours to kill off parasites before they add the salt and sugar mix and herbs. It is not smoked. It might be cured with lemon or vodka. And what of Norway's drinks? 

Cider, or alcoholic apple drink, has been made in Norway since Viking times. Nowadays their ciders are winning awards and have protected place name designations, like Champagne in France. 

Norway's cider festivals are in May. The next cider festival is May 9-11 2024.

Hardanger International Cider Fest.

The Fruit & Cider Festival in Øystese, is held in October.

For a non alcholic drink, try Eplemost.

Follow the fuit and cider route, from the village of Ulvik.

What Norwegian traditional food would you eat with your cider or Eplemost? Open sandwiches.
