Wish the shipping was a little cheaper

They deliver good quality goods and not too expensive. I'd like the shipping to be cheaper, but the prices on the goods itself is very good! I'd like goods like Norwegian brown cheese and the possibility to buy a cheese slicer to be there, though.

Only place in US to find Abbas Salted Herring in bulk. You can ship surface even in summer_they are totally preserved. Lower shipping would be nice.

Excellent choice if you want Norwegian sausages, cheese, meat, etc.

The Scandinavian Foodstore proffers a diverse and authentic selection of Scandinavian food items at relatively reasonable prices - at least compared to the few other stores and sites selling this kind of food stuff in the United States. Therefore, I recommend it to anyone seeking to buy Scandinavian food and deli items. Many of the items actually come from the various Nordic countries and possess the flavor, appearance and texture that one would expect. However, in some instances the item is a domestically-made version of the real Scandinavian food item utilizing the same recipe and ingredients (where available). Unfortunately, the downside to this is that the flavor won’t be exactly the same as the real Scandinavian item. Two examples are Willy’s version of nokkelost and gravlaks. People familiar with the taste of “ekte” (real) Norwegian nokkelost will be disappointed because it does not taste the same. It is a nice try but it is not the same! The same applies to their gravlaks. It has the overall look and texture of salmon lox along with some flavor but, it is slightly drier and quite salty. The latter aspect was rather disappointing. To be fair not all domestically-produced items suffer this fate. Some of the meat items such as Willy’s middagspolser, medisterpolser and sylterull were very good. Lastly, shipping/delivery appears to be quick and the items are well-packed. However, be advised that because of the rate structure utilized for calculating shipping costs the overall purchase price may become higher than initially aniticipated. This may negate any real savings that otherwise would have been derived from the pricing of the goods themselves.
