5.   Link with the geographical area

The application for registration of a protected geographical indication is based on reputation.

‘Fenalår fra Norge’ is a unique product from Norway, both with regard to the name and the production method. A common definition is ‘cured leg of mutton and lamb’. The designation fenalår has been used far back in time in Norway, however, the designation has not been found used in other countries.

There is a long tradition of extensive sheep farming in Norway. This can be attributed to the cool climate as well as the topography of Norway, with much grassland and steep land.

A long and continuous tradition of production of ‘Fenalår fra Norge’ in Norway can be documented. In 1555 Olaus Magnus writes about mutton that ‘Northerners eat mutton meat, like nearly all other meats, raw all year after it has laid in brine, been smoked and dried in fresh air, raw all year, and this meat can get old’. Many indirect sources say that the product was most likely produced during the Viking era (800–1050 AD), and findings of sheep bones dated to about 3000 BC (the Neolithic period) makes it probable that leg of mutton could have been dried already at this time.

The production of ‘Fenalår fra Norge’ is a local tradition in all four regions in Norway and is associated with all of Norway. The knowledge and expertise on making ‘Fenalår fra Norge’ has been handed down through generations. One has therefore gained great expertise on how production should be adapted to local conditions, such as temperature, humidity and wind conditions. The accumulated knowledge of selecting the right quality of mutton thighs, how to massage the thighs, the know-how of salting- and drying process to get the mild salty taste, and the right consistency, are all important factors for the renowned quality of ‘Fenalår fra Norge’.

This long and widespread tradition has given the ‘Fenalår fra Norge’ a solid reputation in Norway. A consumer survey conducted in January 2016 confirms that Fenalår fra Norge has a strong and positive reputation and high knowledge. The consumer consider ‘Fenalår fra Norge’ as a high quality product and as a unique and traditional Norwegian product. ‘Fenalår fra Norge’ is most often used during holidays such as 17 May (the National Day) or Christmas, and in the summer when the weather is warm.

Until the end of the 1900s it was common among Norwegian farmers to produce the product for their own use. The knowledge and expertise on making ‘Fenalår fra Norge’ has been handed down through generations, and is currently also used in production on a larger scale.
