FEATURED CHEESE: Bergenost
Click here for an explanation of cheese ratings
Our first Featured Cheese is Bergenost, a triple cream Norwegian-style butter cheese. The brand is Yancey’s Fancy and I learned from their Web site that this cheese won a gold medal in the 1999 New York State Fair Cheese Contest. The cheese is soft and creamy (thanks to the "triple cream," I suspect) and the flavor is mild and pleasant. It’s great by itself or on a Ritz cracker. I planned to eat just one square but ended up eating ... a lot. Probably too much. The label says that each ounce contains 132 calories, 99 of them from fat. I’m guessing I had about 800 calories worth of Bergenost cheese this morning. The label also says the cheese is "A True Taste of Norway." Well, if this is how Norway tastes, I’m ready to eat the whole country.
