Fjording - Nordic Cream

We’ve done it again: Winning Double Gold-medal in San Francisco, the largest and most competitive sprits competition in the world! Also Tår was awarded Gold in its first year of competing. No doubt I am proud now!

(Text in Norwegian): Det er tid for årets utdeling av pengegåver til fjordhestentusiastar i inn- og utland. Totalt genererte likørsalget i 2021 ein gåvepott på 135.000 kroner. Les meir om tildelinga her.

Fjording is in “testutvalget” at Vinmonopolet for the next 6 months. That means greater distribution than ever. The period was kickstarted with superb review in Dagbladet and “top of the liqueur list” at Apéritif :)

We’ve done it again: Created a beverage that no one else in Norway has commercialized before. This time it’s coffee liqueur. And the product is called TÅR!

(Text in Norwegian): For kvar Fjording-flaske som blir selt, dryp det littegrann på fjordhesten og miljøet rundt den. I år deler Fjording AS ut 175.000,- til verdige mottakarar i inn- og utland. Sjå lista i bloggposten.

Fjording continues to climb on the Vinmonopolet bestseller list. A 58 % growth compared to 2019. Cool!

(Text in Norwegian): Ein fjordhest kan ha fem ulike fargar. Den vanlegaste typen er brunblakk. Den sjeldnaste er gulblakk. Den er såpass sjelden at fjordhestmiljøet no vil ta ekstra grep for å sikre genane. Ei gåve frå Fjording finansierer kjøpet av hoppa Mirakel.

We managed it. The gift boxes are ready for the Christmas season. 7000 boxes are ready for distribution to Vinmonopolet :)

Fjording will be sold with gift boxes before Christmas this year. The design process has been fun - now we hope the production and packaging will run just as smoothly.

Finansavisen published an article about Fjording this weekend. As a business newspaper they naturally focused on financial matters. I think they had a broad and thorough covering of our company.

Fjording won Gold Medal in the world’s largest and most prestigious spirits competition this year; San Francisco World Spirits Competition! See list of the other top notch brands we’re competing against.

Many social settings where Fjording is natural to drink, and a natural gift to bring, hasn’t occurred during the corona lockdown. And the hotel- and restaurant market has of course dried out. However, we don’t complain. We’re doing alright (but are longing for parties).

A nationwide research shows that our bottle design speaks better to one specific age group. Further, 2% of the population in Norway above “drinking-age” have tasted Fjording. What do I make of these facts?

We continue to win gold medals! I wasn’t sure we would dare to compete this year, but now I’m glad we did. A nice surprise in these worrisome corona times.

(Text in Norwegian): For kvar Fjording-flaske som blir selt, set vi av pengar til fjordhestvennlege initiativ. Av salet som skjedde i 2019 vart det 135.000,- til fordeling no i år. Her er lista over dei verdige mottakarane.

Innovation Norway and a large delegation from the Norwegian food and beverage industry brought Fjording to the Grüne Woche fair in Berlin this month. The only problem; the bottles were emptied too quickly :)

Fjording is climbing on the “Top 500”-list at Vinmonopolet. 7000 liter sold is more than many well-known international brands, and our climbing speed is like a rocket. Wonder what it will be like for 2020?

(Text in Norwegian). Det har vore eit spennande 2019. Vi kom greitt ut frå hoppkanten i fjor, hadde problem over kulen på nyåret, men fann etter kvart ei lovande flytestilling. Den traurige starten på året vart gradvis erstatta med oppturar. Her er oppsummeringa mi ved inngongen til jul.

Our idea is to number each bottle in a strict ascending order. But we have to admit; we mixed up a little bit this season. It just got too busy. Not a big deal, but something to improve in 2020.

The production volume of Fjording has never been higher than now. The guys at the distillery are working heroically to secure that a record breaking number of Vinmonopol stores will receive their Fjordings before Christmas.

We won! “Best Alcohol Drink” in 2019. So inspiring! Being recognized by industry experts is so cool.
