2024 Christmas Menu
The 2024 Christmas menu is a carefully curated experience that highlights the unique and high-quality ingredients from our local farms. Our feast begins with a lavish and visually stunning grazing table, guiding our guests on a delightful culinary journey. For the main course, we serve wild venison from Kivijärvi and beef from Niittymäki, complemented by the fresh tartness of lingonberries from nearby forests. This menu presents a modern twist on traditional holiday dining, as you won’t find the usual casseroles or ham here. Instead, it offers a contemporary interpretation of classic Christmas flavors.
Grazing Table
The “Grazing Table” is known for its abundance, beautifully arranged for guests to savor at their leisure. In Finnish, this concept is best described as a “nautiskelupöytä,” or “indulgence table.”
Selection of Savory Pastries from Apaja
Includes Torppari bread, crostini, and Pohjosaho Farm’s caramelized pork in puff pastry.
Selection of Local Fish
Features sugar-cured salmon from Rossi’s Fishery and gin-cured pike-perch from Lake Keurusselkä, prepared at Apaja.
Selection of Local Cheeses
Includes Auramousse, Juustoportti’s brandy-walnut cheese, and Jukola Cheddar, accompanied by rhubarb compote from our garden, gingerbread, and Parmesan crackers.
Niittymäki’s Smoked Turkey with Glögi-Spiced Apple
Additionally, the Grazing Table offers various spreads, dips, and creams, along with a rotating selection of local products and fresh fruits.
