Made in Kungshamn on Sweden’s West Coast
Abba has deep roots in Kungshamn, Bohuslän, on Sweden’s west coast – an area with a long tradition of fishing and seafood production.
The herring is carefully seasoned and matured to develop the characteristic sweet, salty and aromatic flavor associated with Swedish matjessill.
This traditional preparation gives the fish its tender texture and distinctive flavor.
Made with Atlantic Herring
Abba Matjessill Klassisk is made with Atlantic herring – Clupea harengus.
The herring is sourced from the Northeast Atlantic and prepared according to the Swedish matjes tradition.
Herring has been an important part of Swedish food culture for centuries and remains a central part of traditional celebrations today.
