Handverker Norsk, translating to Norwegian Craftsman (or artisan) is a Norwegian brand of cheeses and cheese accessories. The cheese slicer, invented by Norwegian designer Thor Bjorklund, is recognized as one of the most innovative inventions to come from Norway. Originally packaged as a souvenir item, the brand was expanded to cheeses themselves, giving a very practical use to each piece.
 

Each item is packaged using a lot of black and white. The design itself relies heavily on beautiful black and white photography taken of Norwegian landscapes, paying tribute to the minimal, sleek and modern design Norway is well known for. The upscale brand targets an audience of intellectuals in their thirties, who generally have a more refined palate.
