A touch of Karelian tradition for the Midsummer table.
Warm Karelian pies served with egg butter add a touch of traditional flavor and summer charm to the Midsummer table.
Midsummer, the celebration of mid‑summer. Midsummer combines old traditions with the carefree atmosphere of summer. For Finns, it is the moment when summer officially begins. Cottages fill with loved ones, the sauna heats up and the sun warms the skin. The evening slowly fades, but darkness never arrives.
For many, the Midsummer sauna is the most anticipated moment of the entire celebration. Making birch twigs together, the smell of fresh birch in a hot sauna and a refreshing dip in the lake are an essential part of Midsummer traditions.
Good food is also an important part of Midsummer. The Midsummer table is filled with delicious dishes, wonderful desserts and the smell of grilling in the air. In addition to grilled food, Karelian pies are a beautiful addition to the table. They may not be the most traditional Midsummer dish, but their taste is suitable for any celebration.
Karelian pies bring a touch of Karelian tradition to Midsummer. They are easy to serve and perfect for breakfast, a snack or as part of a festive meal. Warm, egg-butter-glazed pies are a simple yet irresistible combination.
