Discover more about Karamelleriet ApS

Karamelleriet ApS is an essential stop for those who appreciate the craftsmanship and heritage of Danish confectionery. Located directly on the picturesque harbor promenade in Svaneke, Bornholm’s easternmost and perhaps most charming town, Karamelleriet brings the age-old art of caramel-making to life right before your eyes. The boutique is a blend of workspace and store, where the rich aroma of bubbling sugar wafts out to greet you even before you step inside. Founded by two passionate caramel artisans, Karamelleriet has become synonymous with quality, creativity, and the slow food movement on Bornholm. The open-plan shop allows guests to watch the entire process unfold: from boiling local cream and butter to hand-cutting the golden caramel slabs. The variety is impressive—beyond the classic buttery melt, you’ll find wild combinations like salty liquorice (a Scandinavian favorite), sea buckthorn, and rosemary. Beyond its sweet indulgence, Karamelleriet is also a window into Bornholm’s broader creative ethos, where tradition and new ideas coexist. The store’s aesthetic is clean and welcoming, often bustling with curious visitors, while the staff remain happy to explain the nuances of making perfect caramel. Tastings are encouraged, and the souvenir packaging is as appealing as the candies themselves—making it a favorite for gifts. The experience is multisensory, unhurried, and deeply rooted in place; every bite echoes Bornholm’s natural bounty, creative flair, and a touch of island magic. Whether you’re traveling with kids, seeking a unique foodie experience, or hunting for a memento of Bornholm, Karamelleriet stands out as both a delight to the palate and an emblem of local craftsmanship.
