Wasa Julknäcke 300g / 10.6 oz – Swedish Christmas Crispbread with Fennel, Anise & Coriander
Description
Crisp, light and unmistakably Christmassy, Wasa Julknäcke 300g / 10.6 oz is a seasonal Swedish wheat crispbread baked with the traditional flavours of fennel, anise and coriander.
Unlike Wasa's darker rye crispbreads, Julknäcke is made primarily from wheat flour, giving it a lighter, delicate crunch that lets the aromatic Christmas spices come through. The subtle sweetness and warm notes of anise and fennel make it especially good with everything from Christmas ham and cheese to gravlax, mustard and creamy spreads.
Wasa bakes Julknäcke only for the Christmas season each year, making it one of those products that appears in Swedish shops when December is getting close.
Put it in the bread basket beside the julbord.
Add butter.
Add julskinka.
Christmas lunch is already heading in the right direction.

Swedish Crispbread Made for Christmas
Knäckebröd is part of everyday Swedish food culture throughout the year, but Julknäcke is something different.
Wasa takes a light wheat crispbread and seasons it specifically for Christmas with:
- Fennel – 1.2%
- Anise – 0.53%
- Coriander – 0.40%
The spices are aromatic rather than overpowering, giving the bread a gentle Christmas character while still allowing whatever you put on top to remain the main flavour.
It's crispbread that tastes familiar.
Just a little more December.
A Traditional Christmas Recipe
Wasa describes Julknäcke as being baked according to a traditional Christmas recipe.
The combination of anise and fennel has long been associated with Scandinavian breads, particularly breads served around Christmas and other celebrations.
Coriander adds another aromatic layer without making the crispbread taste heavily spiced.
The result is particularly well suited to the rich, salty foods found on a Swedish julbord.
Perfect with Julskinka
One of the easiest ways to enjoy Wasa Julknäcke is with Swedish julskinka – Christmas ham.
Try:
- Butter
- Thinly sliced julskinka
- Swedish mustard
The crisp bread provides contrast to the soft ham, while the fennel and anise work beautifully with both pork and mustard.
Simple enough for breakfast on Boxing Day.
Good enough to disappear from the Christmas table much earlier.
Excellent with Swedish Cheese
The mild wheat base also works especially well with cheese.
Try Julknäcke with:
- Prästost
- Herrgårdsost
- Västerbottensost
- GräddÄdelOst
- Brie
- Mature cheddar-style cheese
- Swedish mjukost
A little butter underneath is entirely optional.
Although very Swedish.
Serve It with Gravlax
The aromatic spices in Julknäcke pair beautifully with gravad lax and smoked salmon.
Add:
- Gravad lax
- Druvan Gravlaxsås
- Fresh dill
- Lemon
The crisp texture balances the soft salmon while the fennel and anise complement the traditional Nordic flavours.
It also works well alongside the fish section of a Swedish smörgåsbord or julbord.
Made for the Swedish Julbord
Bread and crispbread always have a place on the julbord, and Wasa Julknäcke is designed specifically for the occasion.
Serve it alongside:
- Julskinka
- Gravad lax
- Pickled herring
- Christmas pâté
- Swedish cheese
- Mustard
- Meatballs
- Prinskorv
- Butter
- Mjukost
Guests can build their own combinations throughout the meal.
And because crispbread doesn't need warming or preparation, it may be one of the easiest things on the entire Christmas table.
Also Perfect for Advent Fika
Julknäcke doesn't have to wait for Christmas dinner.
Wasa also recommends it as part of Christmas fika, where its lightly spiced flavour works well beside both savoury and sweet accompaniments.
Try it with:
- Butter and cheese
- Blue cheese
- Cream cheese
- Marmalade
- Honey
- Coffee
- Tea
- Glögg
The crispbread provides a useful savoury break between pepparkakor, saffron buns and Christmas chocolate.
Light Wheat Crispbread
Wasa Julknäcke is made with 94% wheat flour, giving it a lighter character than traditional rye-based Swedish crispbread.
The texture is:
- Dry
- Crisp
- Light
- Crunchy
- Easy to break
- Ideal for toppings
Its relatively neutral wheat base lets the fennel, anise and coriander provide the seasonal character.
7g Fibre per 100g
Despite its light texture, Wasa Julknäcke provides 7g of fibre per 100g.
It can be served as an alternative to soft bread at breakfast, lunch or dinner throughout the Christmas season.
Pair it with protein-rich toppings such as cheese, egg, salmon or ham for a more substantial snack or meal.
Seasonal – Baked Only for Christmas
Wasa Julknäcke is a seasonal product.
It is baked specifically ahead of Christmas each year rather than being part of Wasa's permanent year-round range.
That makes it one of those products closely connected to a particular Swedish season.
Pepparkakor appear.
Julmust appears.
Wasa Julknäcke appears.
December is clearly underway.
