Good negative space for copy. Norway is best known as the land of the Vikings, a sea faring nation with a long jagged coastline. In the Middle Ages, Cistercian Monks taught the Norsemen dairy farming and how to make cheese. The most mountainous country in Scandinavia, only 3% of the land is available for pasture. Hearty breeds of cows and goats graze freely, during the short growing season, and produce rich milk that is made into the popular cheeses we know today. Finland, a nation filled with thousands of lakes and rivers, forests, fiords and glaciers, has 1/3 of its land above the Artic Circle. Thousands of years ago, the Finns came from the high altitude steppes west of the Urals to settle in Lapland. In this land of long, brutally cold winters, as a matter of survival it was important to preserve as much of the spring bounty as possible. They made cheese from reindeers' milk as they moved across the icy tundra. Surprisingly, even with Finland's high latitude, and only 10% of the land for pasture, the Finns have developed very successful dairy farming and cheese industries with almost all their cheeses today made from cow's milk.
