Fenalår
Spain has serrano ham, Italy has Parma ham, Norway has fenalår!
The salted and dried leg of lamb has been around since the Viking Age.
Today, fenalår is a Protected Geographical Indication (PGI). This high-quality cured lamb can be so tender that the meat melts in your mouth!
Easy to store and slice, tasty, and always ready for a party.

There are many other ways to serve this amazing and quintessentially Norwegian cured meat.
The Norwegian sheep roam freely in the mountains and valleys during the whole summer season, and are almost exclusively grass fed.
This is why fenalår is considered one of the more sustainable meat products in Norway.
