Winner of
This year's Cheese Counter 2022
"The Cheese Counter of the Year possesses a great deal of knowledge and a genuine interest in Swedish cheese from small farm dairies to larger national producers. In addition to tastings in stores, store service and home delivery at the local market, cheese enthusiasts across our long country are offered the opportunity to participate in digital cheese tastings. The staff at the Cheese Counter of the Year is, to say the least, prepared to go that extra step to make a difference for Swedish cheese and with great knowledge they always treat suppliers and customers in a friendly, professional and benevolent manner."
The 2022 cheese festival
Winner of
Stora Tourism Prize 2021
"Food and drink are becoming an increasingly important factor in the attractiveness of places. More and more Swedes are letting access to a good food experience guide their choice of holiday destination, and in the case of summer 2020, what to spend their holiday money on when travel was restricted. In the fight for consumer attention, specialized players are crucial. Gårdshem is the modern-day market hall, a showcase and muscle mass for producers of food and meal experiences. Their operations in physical stores and online have created attention for regional products, which leads to purchases not only from those who are retailers, but also strengthens competitive advantages for restaurants that offer regional food and the producers' own sales channels. During the pandemic, they have maintained a strong digital presence and offered everything from online tastings to home delivery of goods, all to keep their business running. In doing so, they have not only kept their own wheels turning, but have also been a support for the many small-scale producers who form the cornerstone of the Västerbotten meal-based experience industry. At the end of March, The spread of the infection created the first restrictions in Sweden and the uncertainty about the progress and effects of the virus caused Swedes to stay at home and reduce their interaction to an absolute minimum. Gårdshem had planned a series of cheese tastings during the spring to spread knowledge about the many regional (Northern Sweden) cheeses that are currently offered. Instead of canceling, the World's First Online Cheese Tasting was arranged! This has been followed by more and Gårdshem is thus showing a concrete example of a rapid, positive change that benefits many actors. The cheeses included in the current tasting can be booked online or directly in store where they can also be picked up or have them delivered to your home. Information about suitable drinks and accessories is also easily available. During the event, there will be live chat and a knowledgeable connoisseur will lead the tasting journey that goes between Northern Sweden dairies, spiced with anecdotes and interesting details that show a solid knowledge and passion!
