Suddenly, there it was – big, shiny and almost unreal. After months of planning and dreaming (actually years, since we first started talking about it), we at Norrsmak have finally installed our first freeze dryer in our kitchen in Klövsjö.

It really feels as though we can start calling ourselves freeze-drying specialists (is that a profession yet?). The machine weighs a full 160 kilos, and we hauled it inside with help from our wonderful friends in the village – a huge thank you to Jenny, Alex and Jonas for the muscle power and clever ideas!

Now the fun begins: testing, tasting and experimenting with ingredients from the mountains and the surrounding area. The only question is – what should we put in the freeze dryer first?

We promise to share taste tests, lessons learned and perhaps even a few surprises along the way. Join us on our journey to create freeze-dried food with a taste of the mountains – straight from Klövsjö.

Best wishes,
Marcus & Peter
