Description

Enjoy a Swedish herring classic with 4 x Abba Mästarmatjes 215g / 7.6 oz – four cans of tender matjes herring matured in a sweet, aromatic and gently spiced brine.

Mästarmatjes is Abba’s mildest matjes variety, making it an excellent choice for anyone who enjoys traditional Swedish matjes but prefers a softer, more balanced spice profile.

The herring is matured in barrels with its seasoned brine in Abba’s temperature-controlled rock storage in Kungshamn on Sweden’s west coast, allowing the flavor and texture to develop slowly.

Traditionally served with new potatoes, sour cream, chives and browned butter, Mästarmatjes has a natural place at Swedish Midsummer but is also enjoyed at Easter, Christmas and throughout the year.

This listing includes 4 individual 215g cans.

Total net weight: 860g (30.3 oz / 1.90 lb)

Abba’s Mildest Matjes Herring

Mästarmatjes is known for its mild and gently spiced character.

Compared with more strongly seasoned matjes varieties, the flavor is softer while still retaining the characteristic sweetness and aromatic spices associated with Swedish matjessill.

Expect a flavor that is:

• Mildly spiced
• Sweet & savory
• Gently tangy
• Aromatic
• Rich in herring flavor
• Balanced rather than overpowering

This makes Mästarmatjes particularly approachable for both longtime herring lovers and anyone trying Swedish matjes for the first time.

A Swedish Midsummer Classic

Matjessill is one of the foods most closely connected with Swedish Midsummer – midsommar.

A traditional Midsummer plate often includes:

• Matjessill
• Boiled new potatoes
• Sour cream
• Fresh chives
• Dill
• Red onion
• Hard-boiled eggs
• Swedish crispbread

For many Swedes, the combination of matjes herring, potatoes and sour cream is one of the defining tastes of summer.

Matured in Kungshamn

The herring used for Abba Mästarmatjes is matured in barrels together with a traditional seasoned brine.

The barrels are stored in Abba’s rock storage in Kungshamn, Bohuslän, where temperature and maturation are carefully controlled until the herring develops the desired flavor and texture.

Kungshamn has a long connection with Swedish seafood production and is home to Abba’s well-known herring tradition.

MSC-Certified Atlantic Herring

Abba Mästarmatjes is made with Atlantic herring – Clupea harengus caught in the Northeast Atlantic.

The herring is MSC-certified, meaning it comes from fisheries certified according to the Marine Stewardship Council’s sustainability standard.

Herring has been an important part of Swedish food culture for centuries and remains central to Midsummer, Easter and Christmas celebrations.

Classic Swedish Serving Suggestion

For one of the simplest and most traditional ways to enjoy Mästarmatjes, serve it with:

• Warm boiled new potatoes
• Sour cream or crème fraîche
• Freshly chopped chives
• Dill
• Finely chopped red onion
• Hard-boiled egg

Finish with a little warm browned butter poured over the herring and potatoes.

The combination of mild spiced herring, warm potatoes, cool sour cream and nutty browned butter is a true Swedish summer classic.
