Kalix Löjrom

Kalix Löjrom is a distinguished delicacy crafted from the roe of the vendace fish, indigenous to the Bothnian Bay archipelago in the northern Baltic Sea, off the coast of Sweden. This unique product was awarded the Protected Designation of Origin status by the European Union in 2010, making it the sole Swedish product to receive this esteemed recognition.

The roe is meticulously harvested during a brief season from late September to late October, coinciding with the spawning period of the vendace fish. What distinguishes Kalix Löjrom is its vibrant orange or red hue and its mild, subtle flavor, which has earned it a place at prestigious events such as royal dinners and Nobel Prize banquets.

The term "Kalix Löjrom" translates to "Kalix vendace roe" and it is often promoted as the "Caviar of Kalix." Should you ever have the opportunity to sample it, you will be experiencing a treasured element of Swedish culinary heritage.
