At Glitterheim you get traditional food, made from old recipes and local ingredients. You are guaranteed high quality food, served with the history of the ingredients.
It is important for us to use the ingredients we can find in the mountains, and we cook as much as possible of the food ourself. All cured meats are made in Glitterheim, of elk, deer, reindeer, roe deer, sheep, pigs and horses. We smoke and cure horse meat, and hot- and cold smokes fish with juniper. Growths like rhubarb and angelica is used in desserts, jams, chutney and more.
We recieve slaughter, and use old recipes to make traditional toppings, such as reindeer pate. Freshly baked bread and hot buns are self-written for all breakfasts at Glitterheim.
