Sweden

Sweden is the largest country in Scandinavia, stretching almost 1,000 miles from the Arctic to its southern tip, with a population of approximately 25 million people. Swedish design and architecture are internationally recognized for their clean lines and use of natural materials while preserving the pristine environment. Social democratic ideals and urban planning govern society.

Fruits—such as blueberries, blackberries and lingonberries—combined with rich dairy products, result in luscious pastries and desserts. Holidays in the dark days of winter are filled with light and traditional foods add to the celebration.
