Gilde Unsmoked Pinnekjøtt – Traditional Norwegian Lamb Ribs

Gilde Unsmoked Pinnekjøtt offers the authentic, tender flavor of Norwegian lamb ribs, prepared the traditional way. "Pinnekjøtt" refers to the classic method of cooking the meat by steaming it over wooden birch sticks, which infuses the meat with a rich, savory taste. While this version is not smoked, it still delivers the delicious, natural flavors of salted and dried lamb.

A beloved dish in Norway, pinnekjøtt is a staple for many during Christmas, New Year's, and even Easter celebrations. In fact, about a third of the population enjoys pinnekjøtt on Christmas Eve, making it the second most popular holiday meal after pork ribs. The dish has its origins in the old Norwegian community, where salted and dried meat was an essential part of the diet, preserving the meat for winter storage. The high fat and protein content made it an attractive and hearty dish for special occasions.

Traditionally steamed on birch sticks, modern preparations of pinnekjøtt now vary, with some opting to steam it on metal racks or simmer it in flavorful broth. Whether you enjoy it in the classic way or try a new twist, Gilde Unsmoked Pinnekjøtt brings the authentic taste of Norwegian heritage to your festive table.
