Slim red box with the Nyåkers dot logo. Swedish pepparkakor — thin, hard, snapping ginger biscuits, spiced with clove, cinnamon and ginger. The Christmas biscuit of Sweden, eaten by the handful through December and traditionally pressed onto the palm to see if it breaks in three (which is said to mean a wish comes true).
It is explicitly labelled "Suitable for vegans and vegetarians" — printed on the box, not inferred. Eight ingredients, no dairy, no egg, no palm oil. For a Christmas biscuit that is genuinely unusual, and it makes this the one to point a vegan customer at.
Nyåkers bake in Bjurholm in northern Sweden and the box says so.
