Norwegian food is highly underrated, and there are a lot of really unique dishes we think you have to try! Take a look at our pick of the best Norwegian dishes in this guide.

Brunost is a love it or hate it sort of food. It’s really unique, which is the main reason we’ve added it to this late, and a staple in the Norwegian fridge. Brunost is a type of creamy cheese, usually made with cow’s milk but can also be made with cream or goat’s milk. There are two reasons why brunost splits opinion: the taste and the texture. First of all, it’s a sweet, caramelized cheese that’s not savory at all. It’s a little tangy and unusual, but if you like it then you’ll be a fan for life.
