What Sjuhärad tastes like!

The taste of Sjuhärad is warm and genuine - and perhaps a little bitter. It has been shaped by poor soils, hilly valleys and deep forests. Whether it is sweet or salty varies, but common to our tastes is that they are created by the landscape we live in and the people who work its soil. Because both the fine dining restaurant and the farm café have exactly that in common – they are run by people who are friendly, dedicated and give their love to the food they put on the table.

Did you know...?

Gäsene Mejeri was established in 1931 as a way for the farmers in the Sjuhärad region to get fair payment for their milk. Even today it is Sweden's smallest dairy association and it is owned by 23 farmers from the area. This means that not a drop of milk has more than 25 minutes to the dairy in the heart of Sjuhärad.
