A Taste of Norway
Kristine. Soleglad (‘Sunset’) is the kind and mild version, Carmen (Carlos’ grandmother’s name) is made with smoked, Spanish paprika, and Apal (‘Apple tree’) is matured in cider – bringing it all together. Some cheeses are allowed to age in a small stone cellar, achieving characteristics of Spanish matured cheeses like Manchego. The Skarbø Gard cheeses are available in the farm shop, and supplied to restaurants, hotels and specialty stores. Joy, passion, hope and courage At Skarbø Gard, sustainability is highly valued. Through genuine products of high quality, they promote a green way of cultivating food. Kristine explains that they want to be sustainable in a deep and holistic way, ensuring that the earth can continue to sustain countless generations ahead.

Today there are three generations at Skarbø Gard: three small children and Kristine’s parents are involved in most farm endeavours. Two years ago, Kristine received the troubling message that she had breast cancer. During the difficult times ahead, Carlos and Kristine relied on four words to keep them going: joy, passion, hope and courage. Today the farmer is again in good health, and those words have become part of their core values, adorning the cider corks. “It is essential to celebrate the little joys of every day,” says the couple. “To follow your passion, and focus on what holds importance. Always keep the hope that things will go well, and have courage to do what is meaningful for you.” Through farming and sharing the fruits of their work, the Skarbøs hope to inspire others to follow their passion, wherever they are in life. Visitors are welcome to Skarbø Gard! You can visit them at: Bygdavegen 335, 6200 Stranda, Norway
