Ewes Milked for Cheese Production in East Iceland
The family at Akurnes, a farm in Hornafjördur in southeast Iceland, is using the latest technology to renew ancient farming methods of fráfaerur (separating ewes and lambs in spring to milk the ewes) and then producing cheese from the ewe milk. The cheese was well received by consumers and quickly sold out. It was available in the local store in Höfn and the specialty store Búrid in Reykjavík. The production takes at least two months and the next cheeses are expected before Christmas. More in Iceland Review
