Tine's golden Ridder Ost, is it the best Norwegian cheese? Nokkelost?
When I was invited to the Poulsbo Daughters of Norway meeting to give a cheese class. The following cheeses were sampled:
Cheese from Norway
Tine Ridder Ost Tangy and lingering.
You can buy Tine Nokkelost from Norway at the Marina Market. The story of Nokkelost and Leiden cheese from Holland.
You can buy Snofrisk spreadable goat cream cheese from Norway at the Marina Market. Very versitale, it's good on crackers, lefse or in spaghetti sauce.
Cheese from Holland
You can buy Leiden or Leyden Cumin Clove cheese from Holland at the Marina Market. This is our families favorite cheese.
You can buy Frisian Clove Cheese from Holland at the Marina Market. Also called nail kaas because whole cloves look like nails.
Buy Beemster Gouda with Fine Herbs (Stinging Nettles) at the Marina Market. Finally a taste of Nettle! This is really good and no risk of being stung!
Buy Beemster Gouda with whole Mustard Seeds from Holland at the Marina Market. Crunchy whole mustard seeds.
Aged Gouda Gold Label More than one cheese book claim this to be a world class cheese.
Parrano (Dutch version of Reggino Parmasano) Has the saly flavor crystals like Parm does.
You can buy Raw Milk Farmers Cheese (Boren Kaas) at the Marina Market.
Cheese from Denmark
Esrom 45% fat Stinky Cheese The Esrom was in perfect stinky form. Very Pungent, a rosy glow and soft.
Ridder Ost was my Mothers favorite cheese. Today in honor of her memory I will tell you what Tine (Tina) the manufacturer has to say about this tangy wonderful cheese.
Ridder Ost is a one hundred per cent Norwegian
invention, although it is related to French
cheeses like Saint Paulin and Port Salut.
The cheese was launched in 1969 under
the name Ridder, which is the Norwegian
word for "Knight", e.g. something
exclusive. The rind is edible and the taste is
distinctive and can be relatively sharp.
U s a g e
Ridder is a typical dessert-type cheese served
with crackers, summer fruits and berries; it is
very suitable for cheese platters. It can be
used as an appetizer, as a cooking ingredient
or sliced in sandwiches.
It should be cut in relatively thick slices.

Toro Mexican Tomato soup mix
I have always wondered why the Norwegian packaged soups by TORO taste so different than American made soups. Well I finally found out! I was looking at and translating from the Toro product information (not that easy, but not that hard either).
They sun dry the vegetables that they use in the dried soups! That was a V-8 head slapping revelation. Of course- that would obviously make the flavors intensify much more that freeze drying them. It also explains why the vegetables rehydrate and look like real sliced vegetables again!
You can buy Toro Mixes from Norway and other Norwegian products at the Marina Market.
A new supply to Toro Products and Norwegian Christmas items will be in stock the week of November 15th.
The Marina Market also carries a variety of Maggi, German and Canadian Knorr soup mixes.

How Are Special Observance Days Determined?
In the United States, the President has the authority to declare a commemorative event or day by proclamation. This is very rarely done; less than 150 are granted in an average year.
Until January 1995, Congress had been active in seeing that special observances were commemorated. Members of the Senate and House could introduce legislation for a special observance to commemorate people, events and other activities they thought worthy of national recognition. Because these bills took up a disproportionate amount of time on the part of senators and representatives and their staffs, when Congress met in January 1995 to review and reform its rules and procedures, it was decided to discontinue this process. However, the Senate still does issue commemorative resolutions which do not have the force of law.
Some state legislatures and governors still proclaim special days, as do mayors of cities.
How do organizations promote awareness about an event or concern that they feel deserves recognition by the public, like the special candy celebration days listed on NCA's web site? Usually a company or individual connected to the candy type contacts a major calendar of events publisher - like Chase's Calendar of Events. The day is often chosen for a significant reason. For example, the day before Halloween is Candy Corn Day.
Marina Market carries Sweet and Salty real Black Licorice drop Lakrid, salmaik lakritz, salmiakki liquorice, from Holland, Germany, Finland, New Zealand, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, England, Australia, Indonesia, Italy, Canada, Ireland and the United States.

New shipment of Nidar candy is now in stock!
Laban is ‘Sweet for the playful’. Laban (Jelly men) provides scope for creativity and playfulness, which is reinforced not least by the advertisements. Laban is also a good example of how a traditional brand can grow and renew itself. After the introduction of Laban Seigdamer (Jelly ladies) in 2002, Laban obtained an even stronger position in the Norwegian market. In 2007, Laban Sure Skrikerunger (Sour Jelly Crybabies) complemented the Laban family, and reinforced the brand name further. Sadly they didn't send me the sour ones... yet! 200g Freia bars and Marzipan Pigs will be in stock the week of November 15th.

Haribo Baren Pranken or Bear Paws, Sweet Black Licorice.
Haribo Baren Pranken. These cute little bear paws are so soft they melt like butter in your mouth and they ever so slighty salty . I suggest this black licorice as a sample if people want to try a salty licorice. If they love or hate it I then have the keystone of flavors they like so I can guide them through the Licorice Shrine. You can buy Haribo Baren Pranken Paws at the Marina Market.
