Story of Finnish flavours

Finnish flavours have been loved for generations 🇫🇮
Saaga’s homemade cheese salad with rosehip vinaigrette, fresh spinach, and fermented cherry tomatoes.
We make our homemade cheese ourselves using, among other things, “piimä” – a thick and strongly sour fermented milk drink especially loved by older Finns.
Fresh flavours, Finnish traditions and northern ingredients continue to live on strongly in Saaga’s kitchen at Bulevardi.
Olkaa hyvä ❤️
Bad sound, good food. Next time better mic. Saaga’s white fish = always perfect ❤️
