Odensjö Hemlagad – Nordic Balsamic with a Distinct Identity
Odensjö Hemlagad was founded by Henrik and Shine in the small village of Odensjö, just outside Ljungby in the heart of Småland, Sweden.
From the very beginning, the ambition has been clear: to produce balsamic vinegar of exceptional quality, rooted in the finest ingredients the surrounding Nordic landscape has to offer.
Our vinegars are crafted from locally sourced fruits and berries such as apples, pears, strawberries, blueberries – and notably raspberries. The produce is handpicked from nearby forests and gardens, as well as in collaboration with selected local growers.
Odensjö Hemlagad is proud to be among the few dedicated balsamic vinegar producers in Sweden.
Handcrafted – Preserved Through Cold
Each bottle is produced by hand with care and precision.
To preserve the purity of flavour, we apply a specialised cold-processing method: freshly pressed fruit juice is first frozen, then thawed extremely slowly. This process retains the fruit’s natural sweetness, aroma and depth without compromising its integrity.
The result is a balsamic vinegar defined by clarity, freshness and layered complexity – a true expression of Swedish nature, bottled.
SkyggeBrygger – Swedish Apple Ice Wine
Crafted in Sweden by SkyggeBrygger.
This apple ice wine is produced from frozen apple must fermented with Champagne yeast. The apples are sourced from village gardens around Odensjö and from old wild trees growing along roadsides and in nearby forests.
All varieties are used — known and unknown, cultivated and wild. The must is frozen, thawed slowly, and the concentrated juice is fermented into wine.
The idea was simple: to give value to apples that would otherwise go to waste.
Small Batches. Distinct Character.
Produced in extremely limited quantities — sometimes as little as 10 litres — with minimal intervention.
Low alcohol, vibrant acidity and pure fruit expression define the style.
SkyggeBrygger translates to “the brewer in the shadows,” a playful reference to Sweden’s strict alcohol regulations and the independent spirit behind the project.
