New Norwegianinspired vegan deli SPIS Vegan is a Nordic-inspired vegan online delicatessen based in London and offering a range of 100% vegan deli items including plant-based meats, cheeses, and baked goods, with everything being homemade and ready for nationwide delivery. PLANT-BASED COMFORT EATING While Norway’s renowned carnivorous diet might not seem much like a vegan’s dream, Nordic inspiration is still well placed to enable this new London-based, online delicatessen to develop a range of plant-based comfort foods. Now operating in Maida Hill, SPIS Vegan claims to be the world’s first Norwegian-inspired deli, combining 100% animal-free ingredients with Norway’s exotic flavours and cherished culinary culture, adding that their Viking-approved treats are influenced by the natural splendour of the Fjords, the relaxed atmosphere of the Lofoten Islands and the urban grandeur of Oslo. SPIS Vegan’s creations are all handcrafted, plant-based and organic. Treats include vegan cured meats, tasty cheeses, moreish sauces, sumptuous picnic foods and decadent baked goods. Every product is created by SPIS Vegan’s innovative chefs using traditional Nordic techniques and umami-rich flavours.

Limited, comments: “Our goal is to make delicious vegan food more accessible than ever before, while also sharing the flavours, aromas and ingredients of Norwegian cuisine. Our savoury products are all-natural, healthy, and delicious, brimming with the taste and zest of Norway, but created right here in our north London kitchen.” With traditional Norwegian cuisine heavy in locally-sourced meats, fish, and dairy, SPIS Vegan has faced quite the challenge in adapting the nation’s dishes into plant-based alternatives. However, the ultra-creative team has still managed to create a menu like no other with standouts including truffle and seaweed-infused nut-free cheeses, vegan salami, no-fish smoked salmon, and plant-based brisket made from beetroot.
Smoky BBQ sauces, intense garlic aiolis, refreshing kale salsas, and flavoursome veggie side dishes also showcase the food culture of the UN’s designated “happiest country in the world.” A great way to try a bit of everything, suggest the firm, is with one of SPIS Vegan’s curated picnic bundles, packed with organic, appetising vegan goodies. Perfect for sharing, they’re delivered in locally-made recyclable boxes and are bursting with big, bold favours, herbs, spices and traditional Nordic ingredients. In addition to serving up Nordicinspired vegan delicacies, the food brand is offering carefully curated corporate gift boxes to bring the magic of authentic Norwegian food to offices nationwide. It also supplies other delis and retailers around the country, and their plant-based Norwegian range can be ordered online for local and national delivery (to find out more, visit: https://spisvegan.com).
