Scania is perhaps most known internationally as a truck.
But it¡­s an old name and a very old landscape in the southern part of Sweden. Scanias history is filled with blood and violence as the Germans, The Danes and especially the Swedes destroyed our beautiful landscape, burned down our cities and killed thousands of innocent people living here. All this happened between 300 and 500 years ago.

Today Scania is the most important food region in Sweden.
The region produces wheat, vegetables, apples, potatoes, peas, sugar-beats and meat from pigs, lambs and cows.
The fish is common around the landscape. Scania is close to Denmark, which it once belonged to and the bridge over the often troubled waters of the Sound, connects Scania with the Danish capital city Copenhagen. The climate is typically Scandinavian, windy as the storms catch us from the North Atlantic Ocean, cold in winter with sometimes lots of snow and a far to short summer. It's often rainy but the seas surrounding the landscape makes the climate stabile.

The bridge between Denmark and Sweden, Copenhagen and Malmoe, is the longest bridge in Europe.
In the year 2002 two people from Scania and two Italians decided to start a Slow Food convivium sharing the same philosophy as the Slow Food movement.
After just two years we were 150 members.
We arrange 8 or 10 meetings with our members every year.
We enjoy the local food as fish, lamb, apples, and soups but also enjoy food from abroad. We have arranged wine tests with wine from Italy and Chile. From the start of our convivium we have arranged over 50 events concerning good food.
