Norway imposes serious tariffs on imported butter -- to protect their inefficient domestic farmers, of course. Looks like state-regulated trade bit them in the assenflabben.

First Sweden ran into supply problems, in part blamed on a television chef urging everyone to use butter. Paula is evil and must be stopped. ;-)

Maybe they have a higher percentage of butterfat in their milk? They leave more cream before homogenizing?

They will blame global warming and claim world socialism is the solution.

You get about 6oz of butter from a pint of cream...maybe a tad more. That will also depend on which breed of cow gave the milk. Jerseys give the most, IIRC. Also, you need milk which is not homogenized, in order to get cream from the milk, itself.
My husband is Norwegian on his father’s side. The recipes call for pounds of the stuff.
I think I read that the problem has to do with availability of pasture for the cows, who are not producing as much milk.

Yep. Spring rains destroyed a lot of hay and grazing pastures up in the central valleys. But the bigger problem is that Tine is arrogant as hell.

I get Kerrygold butter at my local Trader Joe's. Same here. TJ's has a good price on the stuff.

The local Amish and Hutterite communities sel lthe best-tasting butter weve ever had. We buy it in 2 and 3 pound chubs. I've heard good things about their products. If I ever see some of it for sale, will buy some.
I have tried raw butter and it is mighty good stuff.
