Local food from Trøndelag

An increasing focus on local food has led to an explosion of small-scale food producers, who conjure up delicacies from raw ingredients provided by both the sea and land. Some of them have been voted the best in the country. The many farm shops, food festivals and restaurants make the whole of Trøndelag a culinary paradise.

Short distance food – local food from Trøndelag
