Product Information

Now, this story might've run like a movie, with two enterprising brothers nurturing a dream of returning to their commune as soon as possible and investing their skills and the money they earned into lifting it up. They even managed to get a deal from the department store chain EPA to distribute their Pepparkakor nationwide in 1960.

In 1995, Nyakers finally shifted its focus from the domestic market to export, starting with faraway markets of Japan and the US instead of nearby Europe. Today, we'll be discussing the company that has done more in the last 60 years to put the Pepparkakor name out in the world than any other: Nyakers. What is Pepparkakor? Commercial producers keep their recipes close to the chest to keep their unique cookie flavor a secret. Nyakers is no exception: Nyakers ginger snaps recipe has been a closely guarded secret for over 60 years. What Makes Nyakers’ Pepparkakor so Special?

Bengt and John managed to convince Västerbottens Entrepreneurs (a local organization based in the Västerbotten province of north Sweden) to invest in their new bakery. With a sizable start-up capital acquired, they not only restarted production in six months but managed to build a more modern bakery with equipment that allowed for increased production.

Finally, in 1999, the Nyakers factory was bought by the entrepreneur Lennart Öberg, who expanded production further and took on new markets. Now, over 20 years after the acquisition, the company is run by his children, Christoffer and Sofie. They continued their fathers' export-focused strategy, taking on new markets, most notably Turkey and Israel. Are Pepparkakor and Gingerbread the Same? Nyaker has been running its cookie factory for over 60 years. A factory that manages to increase its cookie sales from year to year.And then, just a few days after the deal was signed and the ink barely dry, the Åström brothers' bakery burned down.

In another five years, by the year 1965, Nyakers had become a market leader for Pepparkakor sales. What Else Does Nyakers Offer? Pepperkakor has a very strongly expressed spicy flavor; however, the ratio of spices changes in different recipes, with there being no ubiquitous one. This variety in spice significantly changes Pepparkakor flavor. Unlike American gingerbread, pepparkakor isn't usually iced or frosted for serving. They are either eaten plain, or with a sprinkle of turbinado sugar before baking.Not too shabby for a settlement that hasn't grown to four-digit inhabitant numbers despite everything. The bleak truth is that communes like this one: small and far away from large settlements die all the time. If Nyakers wanted to be a market leader year-round, they needed to expand their production line. And boy, did the Åström brothers want to be the market leaders.
