Growing and malting barley
Newly opened distilleries
Cereal cultivation started in Northern Norway as a result of the knowledge and expertise exchange among CEREAL partners. The Icelandic partners provided barley varieties adapted to northern climate. Through the baking courses, the bakers and farmers learned how to make new cereal products. Norwegian beverage producers also visited their peers in Scotland and learned how to malt barley on the floor, which helped them to develop their own malting facilities.
