A SWEDISH CANDY TOWN

Gränna, a cute little town located on the eastern shore of Lake Vättern in Sweden, is known for its charming setting and unique confectionery tradition. This is indeed the birthplace of the famous "polkagrisar”, a type of Swedish candy cane. This delightful town, with its cobblestone streets and stunning views of the lake, has become synonymous with these red-and-white peppermint sticks that are just as popular now as they were back in the days. Polkagrisar have been a speciality of Gränna for over 150 years. The candy's origins are attributed to a local confectioner, Amalia Eriksson, who created them in the 1850s. The name "polkagris" is derived from the Swedish word "polka," referring to the popular dance of the time, as the candy's twisted appearance resembles a dancer's swirling dress. Visitors to Gränna can witness the fascinating process of polkagris-making firsthand, as skilled artisans pull, twist, and shape the hot sugar mixture into these iconic red and white canes. The charming shops that line the streets of Gränna offer an array of polkagrisar, each crafted with precision and care, making them both delicious and visually appealing. Beyond its sweet treat, Gränna offers visitors a tranquil and idyllic setting, with its pastel-coloured buildings, vibrant gardens, and stunning lake views. The town's historical and cultural significance, along with its connection to the candy-making tradition, make it a must-visit destination for those exploring Swedish culture and seeking to savour a little piece of the country's confectionery heritage. Gränna's polkagrisar are not just candy; they are a symbol of Swedish craftsmanship and a delightful taste of tradition.
