Cheesetasting with Himmelspannet

Handmade cheese from Hemsedal

Himmelspannet is Hemsedal's own cheese factory located in the middle of Hemsedal city center. Join us for a cheese tasting and learn more about the cheeses, the production and meet the exciting people who make the cheeses.

Depending on how many people there are, the tasting can either be held in Himmelspannet's premises, in cabins or hotels, combined with food or wine tasting. Contact us and we will tailor your tasting for you.

Himmelspannet is a small, local cheese factory that makes delicious cheese from milk from cows and goats that graze in the valley. The cheese is made with love and packaged by hand, right in the center of Hemsedal.

Himmelspannet is passionate about preserving and continuing the village's long traditions of farm life and cheesemaking - a fantastic starting point for good cheese!

The cheeses are named after famous peaks and landmarks in Hemsedal. The cheeses are sold in most grocery stores in Hallingdal, and in a number of specialty stores. In addition, all our cheeses are distributed nationally through Norgesgruppen, and can be purchased in the Meny store, among others.

History of Himmelspannet

On the farms in Hemsedal, in ancient times, the milkmen would sometimes discover in the morning that some of the milk had mysteriously disappeared. Legend has it that the mound people had been there, and that the best milk ended up in Himmelspannet under the cover of night darkness.

We have found Himmelspannet! It contains milk from goats and cows that have grazed between mighty mountains and under a big sky, far into the mountains in Hemsedal.

Now the milk from Himmelspannet is curdled into the most delicious cheeses. This is how the adventure can continue…

Suitable for small and medium-sized groups.
