We received the designation in 2010 from the UNESCO Creative Cities Network (UCCN) and remain the only region in Sweden to have been awarded it. This speaks volumes about our ingenious food creators and our fantastic culinary craftsmanship.

Another important driving force is our national center for artisanal food, Eldrimner, which offers knowledge, support, and inspiration to chefs and small-scale food producers in the region, the country, and the Nordic countries.  <\/p>\n<p>Throughout the county, it is easy to enjoy the local gastronomy. Here you will find both culinary excellence and locally produced products of the highest quality, and together we work to continue offering the J\u00e4mtland taste of clean, fair, and truly good food to as many people as possible. <\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-3 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-three\" style=\"--awb-margin-top-small:10px;--awb-margin-right-small:0px;--awb-margin-bottom-small:10px;--awb-margin-left-small:0px;\"><h3 class=\"fusion-title-heading title-heading-left fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"margin:0;--fontSize:36;line-height:var(--awb-typography1-line-height);\">What has happened since we received the award?<\/h3><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-3\"><p>The UNESCO Creative City of Gastronomy designation and the extensive network we gain access to through the UNESCO Creative Cities Network provide the region&#8217;s food producers with fantastic opportunities.
