THE MUST-TRY
FOOD WHEN
VISITING ICELAND
As an island that is somewhat
isolated from the rest of the world,
Iceland benefits from exceptionally
clean air, wild and sustainably fished
oceans, and perhaps some of the
globe’s purest bred livestock.
This, combined with a number of
centuries-old traditions and recipes
has formulated a diverse cuisine
that has changed over the years with
the development of modern Nordic
gastronomy, but still holds on to a
collection of authentic home-style
dishes. Lamb and fish are important
staples of a country which also holds
a strong affection for dairy produce,
often combining these in cuisine
which is simple and delicious. Here,
we take a look at some of Iceland’s
must-try foods.
