Discover Finland´s food culture – rooted in simplicity and seasonality
From delicate and subtle to bold and earthy, Finnish cuisine offers a surprising range of flavours. A must-try classic is karjalanpiirakka (Karelian pie), featuring a thin rye crust filled with creamy rice porridge and often served with rich egg butter. Seafood lovers will delight in lohikeitto, a comforting creamy salmon soup that presents the freshness of Finland’s waters.
Adventurous foodies will be intrigued by salmiakki, Finland’s iconic salty liquorice, and a true local favourite. For a sweet touch of the forest, enjoy mustikkapiirakka (blueberry pie) or cloudberries, used in homemade jams and desserts.
