Hemgården Chark
Norra Råda, Sweden
A Värmland charcuterie at the same Norra Råda address since 1894, when August Larsson started walking the village door-to-door with a basket of sausages. The business now runs as August Larsson Charkuteri AB, owned by the Möller family from northwest Scania, but the smokehouse still uses Swedish hardwood and the recipe book still lists the Falukorv that has been on the line for over a century: pork and beef from Värmland farms, lightly smoked, sliced cold or pan-fried. About a hundred products in all, from everyday sausages to air-dried specialties, all carrying the Mathantverk craft-charcuterie mark.
