Gamalost, or “old cheese”, is a hard, crumbly cake marbled with cat hair-like strands produced by a special mold. It is reputed to have healing properties and to boost the sexual prowess of men. It's heritage is said to go back as far as 1280 AD but, over time, only one commercial gamalost dairy has survived. Now cheesemakers are hoping to reintroduce it to the Norwegian diet. Gamalostfestivalen is a four day festival held in June each year in celebration of gamalost's thousand-year tradition.
