Ice cream and candy

For many, the holiday season may be the opportunity to enjoy a little extra of life's good and sweet. Öland has several first-class food artisans who make sweets and ice cream to brighten up your holiday days here on our island. Far up in the north, there is locally produced soft ice cream that is sold in the port of Byxelkrok, in Kaffestugan in Böda and in the port of Sandvik. The soft ice cream is made from milk from the farm shop at Österbo farm in Dödevi. Italian gelato is also included in the range. Öland ice cream is a real classic that you can't miss. This "institution" is located in Borgholm, on the corner of Societetsparken in what at the last century was a pharmacy. Ice cream is produced here with flavours such as grandma's favourite and champagne sorbet, and on a hot day the queues are long out on the pedestrian street. If you are in the mood for locally produced sweets, there is an entire candy factory in Bredsätra. Here you can also follow the production and in the small museum you can learn all about the history of sugar. World-class chocolates can be found in Färjestaden's harbour. This is where ÖlandsChoklad is housed and the flavors are based on Öland, such as sea salt or sea buckthorn. Their self-made gelato takes clear inspiration from Italy and cools down well after a long day in the sun. At Miss Frankenstein in Gårdby you will find colourful and creative creations. Especially the chocolate pralines are like small works of art with patterns and beautiful packaging.
