From the newspaper Aftenposten I just learnt that it was a lady named Anne Hov who in 1863, while working on a seter (summerfarm) in Soer-Fron in Oppland invented the famous Norwegian cheese, sometimes called Gulbrandsdalsosten. She was then working as a budeie – the woman taking care of the cows – on Solbraasaetra. Now, nearly 150 years later the local authorities want to protect this place as part of the national heritage.
