Taste of Finland

Service Description

Finland’s cuisine is based on fresh, natural ingredients gathered straight from the waters, fields, and forests. Finns are known as leaders of research and innovation. But when it comes to food, they tend to favor tradition. Finnish cuisine differs from neighboring Scandinavian countries because it has one foot on either side of its borders – Russia in the East and Sweden in the West. Since day one, the Finnish diet has been built around surviving the harsh conditions of our northern climate. Growth seasons are dictated by the cold, meaning many local products are only available for a limited amount of time. Fish and meat play a prominent role in traditional Finnish dishes in some parts of the country. Berries are a fundamental part of our meals since we get all kinds of berries in Finland. Besides, here you will find unique food combinations that show the essence and soul of Finns.
