As you might expect, the journey to number one is no easy feat: Sixty-six teams of judges sort through 3,000 cheese varieties from all over the world, each then nominating a favorite to be submitted to a Super Jury who decide the overall winner. In the end, Kraftkar, with its well-developed mold and soft and creamy texture took the crown.
Unfortunately, Tingvollost, a small-scale artisan producer, doesn't ship to the U.S., but that won't stop us from praying for a Christmas miracle.
