About the Embla Food Price

 

Nordic cuisine is known for clean flavours and uncompromising dissemination, which has made "Nordic food" a term far beyond the geographical Nordic region. 

 

The award was established to strengthen the common Nordic food identity and culture, and to increase interest in Nordic food outside the Nordic region. The award is handed out every second year. 

 

The producers of agricultural raw materials are behind. The six Nordic agricultural organisations, gathered under the Nordic Farmers' Association's Central Council (NBC) are behind the award. It is also supported by the Nordic Council of Ministers and is part of the New Nordic Food III programme. The Norwegian Farmers' Association hosted the awards in Oslo on 20 June 2022. This was the third time the Embla Food Awards were held.
