The Story Behind Multekrem
Multekrem is the quintessential Norwegian luxury dessert, made with cloudberries that grow wild in Arctic and sub-Arctic bogs. These golden berries cannot be commercially cultivated, making them one of Scandinavia's most prized ingredients.
Cloudberry picking is a cherished Norwegian tradition, with families returning to secret locations year after year. The berries ripen in late July and August, and the harvest is preserved for use throughout the year.
Multekrem is traditionally served at Christmas and other celebrations, representing both luxury and connection to the wild Norwegian landscape. The simplicity of the recipe, just cream, sugar, and berries, lets the extraordinary flavor of the cloudberries shine.
