Tunnbröd (Traditional Swedish Thin Bread)

Tunnbröd is a traditional Swedish flatbread that dates back centuries, originating from Northern Sweden. It is a staple of Swedish culinary heritage, available in both soft and crisp varieties. The bread is historically significant as it was developed to be preserved over long winters.

The market for Tunnbröd is dominated by several key Swedish family-owned companies and cooperatives, most notably Polarbröd and Mjälloms Tunnbröd. While manufacturing is primarily concentrated in Sweden to maintain authentic quality and tradition, these products are now exported globally to cater to enthusiasts of Nordic cuisine. Ownership remains largely within Swedish hands, reflecting a deep connection to regional agricultural practices and local wheat and rye production.
