In Sweden, June is the month that from beginning to end is full of moments that invite you to celebrate and share traditions full of flavour outdoors. On June 6th, National Day gathers families and friends around a table, where there is no lack of traditional food and enthusiasm to share between generations delicious dishes that create unforgettable memories.
June starts with the National Day of Sweden and ends with Midsommar
Days get longer, the sun is shining brighter… and Midsommar is here, the big party of the summer. Between the 20th and 26th of June, tables are filled with fresh products and Scandinavian flavours to welcome the new season with a full stomach, along with our loved ones. The secret? Tradition and simplicity, recipes passed down from generation to generation and long after-lunch conversations full of laughter and joy to share.

SMÖRGÅSTÅRTA Salmon and shrimp Swedish cake
The smörgåstårta is a Swedish “sandwich cake”: a bread salty cake with creamy filling that is prepared in celebrations and reunions. It is served cold and cut as a cake, and it is typical in buffets and party tables, especially on spring-summer and on family reunions where something eye-catching and easy-to-share is required.
It’s time to celebrate outdoors
Good weather invites you share moments and savour outdoors, celebrating in style the month where summer starts, in a true Swedish way.
