Culinary experience
Local products of North Iceland reflect their natural origin, the climate, the soil, the water, and the environment in which they grow. They stand for purity and freshness, demonstrate the diversity of producers, and tell others about the local food culture, heritage, and methods developed over centuries.
Whether in a fantastic contemporary restaurant or farm accommodation in the countryside, you will consume freshly landed fish within hours of its catch and the meat of lambs that spent long summer days free-roaming in a natural environment. There will be arctic moss, herbs, berries, and mushrooms foraged in mountains and valleys as well as auk from the seacliffs at the Arctic's edge and volcano bread – baked overnight, buried in bubbling black sand heated by a hot spring.
North Iceland has a colorful beer history. The first microbrewery in Iceland, Kaldi, was opened in 2006 in Árskógsströnd, North Iceland. You can visit several breweries from Skagafjörður to Húsavík, all of which are famed for their excellent beer brewed from pure Icelandic water.
