Jämtland artisan food at the top of the Swedish Championship in Artisan Food

Jämtland continues to distinguish itself as one of Sweden’s premier food regions! When this year’s Swedish Championship in Artisan Food was decided in Kristianstad on October 8–9, the county’s producers brought home a total of 15 medals: five gold, nine silver, and one bronze. Several products were also named “Best in Class,” an award given to the highest-rated product in its category.

The Swedish Championship in Artisan Food is organized by Eldrimner and gathers artisan food producers from across the country. The competition highlights quality, knowledge of raw materials, and craftsmanship, and this year’s results show that Jämtland’s artisan food stands strong nationally.

Gold medals and Best in Class

Three Jämtland products received both a gold medal and the “Best in Class” award:

  • Skärvångens bymejeri for the blue cheese Stanford Bleu
  • Tivarsgårds mejeri for Tivars salad cheese
  • Börtnans fjällvattensfisk for Smoked Mountain Char

In addition, Börtnans fjällvattensfisk took gold for Cold-smoked Rainbow Trout Fillet and Åsbergets Gårdsmejeri gold for the hard cheese Herr Ober.

Breadth and quality throughout the county

In addition to the gold medals, several producers were awarded silver and bronze. Among the medalists are Fjällsta Skogsträdgård, Flammans Skafferi, Osterian af Jemtland, Tivarsgårds mejeri, Skärvångens bymejeri, and Börtnans fjällvattensfisk. Together, they demonstrate the breadth that characterizes Jämtland’s artisan food, from fish, cheese, and dairy products to beverages and processed raw materials.

Strong artisan food strengthens the region

These excellent results are not only a success for the individual companies. They also contribute to strengthening the image of Jämtland and Östersund as a leading gastronomic region, where local raw materials, expertise, and entrepreneurship are at the center.

We offer a big congratulations to all medalists and participants who continue to develop and put Jämtland’s artisan food on the map!
