The Vikings knew how to organize a barbecue

The Vikings grilled food, mainly by frying meat and fish over an open fire, on embers or using skewers. Archaeological finds, such as the so-called Mästermyr find , include grill grates and frying pans, which show that they had equipment for grilling. Cooking pits with hot stones were also used for cooking.  

• Cooking techniques: Grilling was common during the summer months, especially at celebrations.
• Equipment: They used forged grill grates and spits to grill meat, fish, and vegetables over an open fire.
• The food: Pork, lamb, game and fish were grilled.  

The Vikings thus had a form of barbecue culture, often in the form of open fireplaces, similar to today's barbecue.

Sustainability & manufacturing

Traditional crafts are often made in traditional ways in many parts of the world. That's why we constantly work to choose partners with the best conditions and then improve what we can continuously. Long-term collaborations lead to long-term benefits.
