thumb|Slices of ''' is a traditional Norwegian cured meat made from salted and dried leg of lamb. is a very popular dish in Norway and is often served with other preserved food at a Christmas buffet or on Norwegian Constitution Day.

Curing time is normally about three months, but may be matured for a year or more. In some parts of the region, especially in the Voss area, the leg is also slightly smoked (using a cold smoke process) before curing to prevent any mould-related problems that may occur when drying meat in a humid, mild climate. It is still quite common for many Norwegians to salt and cure the meat at home. The finished meat is dark red to brown in color. Fresh-cut slices of high quality ' are smooth, tender and somewhat shiny, but not moist. The taste is slightly sweet and not too salty. The meat must have a pronounced, but never rancid, taste of mutton.
