Kalix Löjrom

Kalix Löjrom is the roe of a small vendace fish swimming off the coast of Kalix in Northern Sweden. The roe must be hand extracted from the fish on the same day it was caught, and it is then thoroughly rinsed, dried and salted.

The final product is orange-colored due to the unique feeding habits of vendace fish, and it has a subtly salty flavor reminiscent of fish oil. Kalix Löjrom can be enjoyed on its own, but it is most commonly served on rye bread with sour cream and chopped red onions.
