  • Scandinavian Cheeses Malcom Jarvis Quesodiego Cheese Club, 19 February 2013
    Scandinavian Cheeses Malcom Jarvis QuesoDiego Cheese Club, 19 February 2013 Scandinavia is a historical region in Northern Europe characterized by a common ethno- cultural Germanic heritage and related languages. This region encompasses three kingdoms of Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. Modern Norway and Sweden proper are situated on the Scandinavian Peninsula, whereas modern Denmark is situated on the Danish islands and Jutland. Sometimes the term Scandinavia is also taken to include Iceland, the Faroe Islands, and Finland, on account of their historical association with the Scandinavian countries. Such usage, however, may be considered inaccurate in the area itself, where the term Nordic countries instead refers to this broader group. The vast majority of the human population of Scandinavia are Scandinavians, descended from several (North) Germanic tribes who originally inhabited the southern part of Scandinavia and what is now northern Germany, who spoke a Germanic language Pairing wines and cheeses from the same region is a good, “safe” place to start wine and cheese combinations. Unfortunately, the Scandinavian countries do not make any good wine that I am aware of. Cheeses Of Norway Gammelost It is a traditional Norwegian ripened table cheese with irregular blue veins made principally in the counties of Hardanger and Sogn. It is rich in protein with low fat content, measuring 1% fat and 50% protein. Moisture, not more than 52 percent (usually 46 to 52 percent) ash, 2.5 percent; and salt (in the ash), 1 percent Its name translates as "old cheese" because the rind grows a mould that makes it look old before its time.

You meet with new cultures and habits that differ from what you are used to from home. Some of the Norwegian culture you will experience as you go, but when it comes to food, that is an experience you have to dive into starting from day one. Navigating through all the different types of Norwegian food is part of the journey, but we hope this booklet will make the first days and weeks easier and more exciting. This booklet contains a guide to the different grocery stores you will encounter in Oslo, as well as some easy recipies. We have also included a food dictionary, making it easier to understand the Norwegian names of food. Finally, we would like to take this chance to remind you to take extra care during the winter months. As the days turn shorter and the sun comes out less often, it is important to keep your energy level up by eating reasonably and healthy. Little sun also means less vitamin D, and we recommend that you supplement with this vitamin in order to keep your bones strong and healthy. -2- Grocery stores There are many low price chain stores in Norway, and there you will find most of what you need everyday. Here are some exam- ples of low price chain stores: You will also find more expensive chain stores. Some of these have larger assortments and different brands of each product, a lot of fresh fruit, vegetables, fish, meat and special products.

  • An Integrated Approach for the Valorization of Cheese Whey
    foods Commentary An Integrated Approach for the Valorization of Cheese Whey Francisco J. Barba Nutrition and Bromatology Area, Department of Preventive Medicine and Public Health, Food Science, Toxicology and Forensic Medicine, Faculty of Pharmacy, Universitat de València, Avda. Vicent Andrés Estellés, s/n 46100 Burjassot, València, Spain; [email protected]; Tel.: +34-96-3544-972; Fax: +34-96-3544-954 Abstract: Taking into account the large amount of whey that is produced during the cheese pro- duction process and the constant demand by society for more sustainable processes, in accordance with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the circular economy concept, it is necessary to adapt two-unit operations into a single process, allowing us to not only valorize a part of the whey but the whole process, which is known as bioprocess integration. In this sense, the adaptation of different processes, for example, physicochemical (micro, ultra and nanofiltration) and fermentation, that are commonly used to obtain proteins, lactose and other compounds with different activities (antioxidant, antifungal, etc.) could be integrated to achieve a complete recovery of the cheese whey. Likewise, keeping in mind that one of the main drawbacks of cheese whey is the great microbial load, some innovative processing technologies, such as high hydrostatic pressures, electrotechnologies and ultrasound, can allow both the development of new foods from whey as well as the improvement of the nutritional and organoleptic properties of the final products prepared with cheese, and thus reducing the microbial load and obtaining a safe product could be incorporated in the cheese whey valorization process.
