Snøfrisk is a soft white cheese from Norway, sold as a spread. It is made from goat's milk and cow's cream, and the paste stays pale because it does not take on a yellow tint. The name means snow fresh, which fits the clean look and the tangy taste. There is no rind. It comes in a small pack for the table, and flavored versions sit beside the plain one.
