Nature´s treasure trove

Here you can get a little taste of just some of the specialities, delicacies and good raw ingredients that can be found in the Land of Light and which are available from the region's producers of food.

Just think of the shiny silver fish that are found in the seas around the Land of Light and which are transformed into exquisite dishes by skillful chefs. Or large pink Norway lobsters that can be boiled or barbecued to become a local delicacy.

We're also proud of our lambs and beef cattle that graze in scenic surroundings and end up as tender and tasty roasts or steaks. Such delights can be washed down by the golden, hand-brewed beer produced by the small local breweries. Dream of red strawberries in the classic dish served with fresh cream; a tempting dessert when the sun is high in the sky.

Farms and farm shops

The climate and soil provide ideal conditions for the production of food. Farms and farm shops sell a huge range of berries and vegetables that have just been harvested from the fields. Or you can visit during opening hours and pick your own berries or dig up your own potatoes. The flavour and freshness speak for themselves - yum yum...

Roadside stalls sell tempting vegetables and berries. Signs proclaiming "Strawberries for sale", "Peas and leeks" or "Fresh new potatoes" are difficult to ignore when out on a drive in the countryside.

	The Land of Light is known for its aromatically-flavoured snaps The region has a long tradition for producing snaps flavoured with different herbs – for medicinal purposes, of course! Nature contains a lot of exciting herbs and berries that make perfect natural flavourings, including bog myrtle, wormwood, sloe and juniper.
If you wish to learn more about the herbs used in making snaps, there are special snaps routes and tours led by nature interpreters and other expert guides. Alternatively, you can visit Hirtshals Museum and see exhibitions of snaps and herbs.

Delicacies of top quality

Indulge your senses with delicacies such as ice cream from a local farm dairy, honey from the local beekeeper, homemade fishcakes with remoulade from the fishmonger's, sausages of infinite variety from the butcher's or beer from the local brewery. Look out for your preferred specialities from the Land of Light... Bon appetit!
