Flatkökur- Icelandic Flatbread or Flatkaka is a traditional Icelandic flatbread. Flatbread used to be made exclusively from rye and water, but nowadays, wheat flour is usually added to the blend.

Flatbreads do not contain any leavening agents; therefore, they are flat and a little bit dense.

How to eat it: The most common way to eat flatbread is to cut it in half, add some butter and a slice of smoked lamb (hangikjöt). You can also try to eat them with butter and cheese, Icelandic paté (kæfa), or smoked salmon.

The selection of cheeses is mostly produced in the northern part of Iceland (Akureyri) and the western part (Búðardalur). Akureyri specializes in the making of hard cheeses whereas Búðardalur specializes in the making of mould cheeses. The many varieties of cheeses include Camembert, Feta cheese, Cheddar and Gouda.

There are several brands of cheese available in Iceland. Óðalsostar is a selection of hard cheeses, delicious in taste. Góðostur is a selection of mild Gouda cheeses whereas Dala cheeses are mould cheeses.
