Why choose Icelandic?
The Icelandic grass-fed Viking cow breed has been maintained for over 1,000 years. The nutritional properties of the milk have been maintained for a millennium and it is very rich in A2 proteins which are easier on digestion. The cheese produced in Iceland is premium and has a rich flavor. Skyr is a protein rich yogurt-like product which was brought to Iceland by its Viking settlers. Skyr is taking the world by a storm and Næra® has developed the first of its kind shelf-stable crunchy popped skyr snack you can enjoy at any occasion.
The brand also prides itself is using locally harvested, sustainable seafood for its innovative fish jerky snacks. "Næra® Fish Jerky Crunch is not loaded with sugar or soy sauce like many other fish jerkies," said Holly. These are the first hybrid fish snacks, combining fish with premium cheese and butter from Iceland. The Ready-to-Eat Dried Crunchy Capelin is gently dried and there is no added salt or oil. With this new launch, consumers can enjoy the health benefits of capelin in a convenient snack form.
