Old times in Norway : Decorating the Butter and the Cheese

Not so long ago we bought a beautiful Norwegian brown cheese.
Usually this Norwegian sweet cheese is sold as square blocks, but as a special treat you can buy a decorated cheese, inspired by the use of traditional wooden moulds.
Today, in a Norwegian magazine for antiques (Samler, Nov 21st 2005) I was reminded that similiar wooden moulds were used to decorate butter.
According to the article, you need 20 liters of milk to produce 1 kg butter, so butter was very precious. Most of the traditional moulds took half a liter of butter.
The decorations on the inside of the moulds sometimes included a bride and bridegroom, as these festive butter blocks often were presented as «sendings» to local weddings.
