Brunberg – Delicacies from the factory store

Brunberg is a traditional chocolate and sweeties maker in Porvoo, established on 1871. Their factory store is located next to the main entrance to the Porvoo old town, and it is an excellent store to stock up for your journey back home.

Most of the products are based on traditional recipes, and some of them are traditions themselves in Finland. Take, for example, Brunberg’s kisses — almost everyone in Finland have eaten them, either as a kid or when using a kid as an excuse to get one for themselves, too.

I recommend trying out kisses, marmalade and liquorice. All of which will just melt in your mouth.
