Creamed smoked cod roe paste. Sweden's Marmite so to speak. Non-Scandis either love it or hate it. The natives love it. Full stop.
Hugely popular in Sweden and Norway and best eaten with boiled egg or as spread on crispbread. Can also be used as flavourer for cold sauces and fish dishes.
Please note: This is a chilled product.

I too was bereft when Ikea stopped selling Kalles. Have you tried their own brand version? It's absolutely horrible. Now I won't go to Ikea anymore and I'm telling all my Swedish food fan friends about this shop.

The review written by Martin Bailey might have been written by me. I was bereft when I discovered that Ikea no longer sold Kalles but delighted to find this source. I agree that it is delicious with egg. I like to mix it in with cream cheese too.

The ideal breakfast (or light lunch, or tea) is one or more boiled eggs, accompanied by toast and butter well-spread with one of the Kalles pastes. The Mild and the Dill-flavoured varieties beautifully lift the eggy flavour while cutting-through any slight fattiness. It was the main reason why I'd go to Ikea, because that was the only UK source I knew. Now Ikea seem to have de-stocked it in favour of own label products. I'm bereft, and I doubt I'll return until they carry it again.Why waste time and money on self-assembly misery when I can't have a little treat in return?
