Customer preferences:
With rising environmental concerns and growing health consciousness, consumers in Norway are increasingly gravitating towards locally produced and organic cheeses.

Additionally, the demand for plant-based and lactose-free cheeses is also on the rise, reflecting a shift towards more inclusive and ethical dietary preferences.

These trends are significant as they reflect a shift in consumer preferences and present opportunities for industry stakeholders to tap into niche markets. However, it also poses challenges for traditional cheese producers who may need to adapt their production processes to meet changing consumer demands.
