6:52 people eat that type of cheese with cloudberries in Finland and even warm up the cheese before eating. 9:46 you should definately try the "OG" one, which is in the light blue can and text "Gin & Grapefruit". It was actually made for Helsinki Olympics back in 1952.

None of them are bad, I happen to like the lemon one more than the pineapple 😁 Koff long drinks are also worth tasting, mango and twist in particular. They kinda are the budget version of original.
When you eventually eat karjalanpiirakka/riisipiirakka (Karelian pie) make sure to eat it warm with eggbutter ontop. If its cold the taste is kind what ever (atleast for me), and so good when warm.
12:29 You got that right, found this on the internet "Finland is the world's biggest consumer of coffee on a per-person basis. The average Finn drinks nearly four cups a day. Coffee is so popular in Finland that two 10-minute coffee breaks are legally mandated for Finnish workers." I think the reason for big consumption is also the history of coffee in finland. It was considered quite a luxury up until 50's or 60's.
Its called a coffee break but its not mandatory just for the coffees sake. It is just a break to get your mind off work for a few mins and talk shit with coworkers. I think the high coffee consumption statistic is because of one type of Finn: The normal ones usually drink a cup at 9am and 2pm. My coworker: Sips on a BIG 1 Liter thermos full off coffee trough the day + a cup on the coffee break. I fear for his heart
@@ikuma8291 Yeah, originally it was to get a legal right to break like visit a toilet or have a snack or what ever, as back then there could be working places that did not allow toilet in the middle of work. So it's put into law to have a lunch break and two shorter breaks.
The price on the beer not being double is because of the deposit. One can is 0,15€, and the per liter price doesn't include the deposit. You get the deposit back by recycling the empty can at a store. Every can or bottle has a deposit on them :). Additionally, it's illegal in Finland to give discount based on how much alcohol you buy Edit: We do indeed love coffee, Finland drinks the most coffee per capita in the world.
The discount rule also makes it so that the cheapest beers are in the small 0.33 liter cans, as those are often also sold in six packs or larger cases. 0.5 liter or pint cans can have a much higher per liter price than the same beer in the smaller can, as the rule doesn't apply in reverse.
9:26 ; Magic of math; 2x 2.41 + return fee for the cans (2x), the text ; "Sis Pantin". That why it is not same as bare product price. As Finnish bottle/can recycling is based to fee that you pay when buying drink and after consuming drink you return bottle/can and get that paid fee back. It is a common hobby during summer to collect empty bottles and return to get some change.
The name Leipäjuusto refers more to the shape than ingredients😊 A traditional way in some parts of Finland is to cut the cheese into small cubes and put them in your coffee, and eat it warm with spoon… Today it’s being used as warm dessert with cream and berries etc, but also as topping in salads
This particular store is located in an affluent area. That causes the selection and pricing to be sorta upscale-ish. That expensive salmon you were checking out(from Norway btw) usually costs around 12-20€/kg when on sale.
Dude, you bought the lemon one. The original OriGINal Long Drink is the grapefruit one. Should try it. But remember to buy the same brand as the lemon one (Hartwall), since the other brand's version pretty much sucks (Koff).
And make sure you pick Original Long Drink which is made from gin, water and grapefruit not that Cool Grape one wich is produced by fermentation process.
Thanks for the video. Finnish veggies, especially tomatoes, are naturally a lot cheaper (and more delicious) in summer than in winter. It is not uncommon to find them at 1-2 €/kg in summer. I rarely buy tomatoes during winter due to the insane price and worse taste. And in general, if one wants to save as much as possible in buying groceries, he/she would go to Prisma or Lidl and buy their own cheap-end brands such as "Xtra", "Kotimaista" or "Rainbow". The premium brands are always clearly more expensive. This was an S-Market which is not the cheapest place but also not as expensive as K-Market or Sale would have been. And as a rule of thumb, everything unhealthy such as candies and especially alcohol is usually quite expensive in Finland due to taxes.
And if one wants to support the farmers, leave all the stores own brands (extra, K-menu, rainbow, kotimaista, pirkka etc.) These are what they use to get bigger cut to them self.
The Fazer made baked goods are usually super expensive (in my point of view) but there are alternative options, not really sure what company provides them but they are alot cheaper and still has a good taste
The thing is Fazer usually makes them at the store, and of course you have to pay premium for freshly baked and also Fazer needs to cover the rent for their spot on the store. And Fazer is a name brand, so there's that as well.
Fun fact: Finnish is not related to English. English is an Indo-European language whereas Finnish is an Uralic language. Finnish does have a lot of loan words from English and Swedish though.
7:00 Leipäjuusto / bread cheese: those were images of cloudberries on the package, not corn. It is customary to have cloudberry jam with it ( it is cheese, not bread :) ).
It's "breadcheese" because fresh curd is flattened and then baked like a bred. Traditionally with masonry oven, dairy industry just use electric ovens. Normal cheese is cured over time with microbes.
Juustoleipä aka. leipäjuusto aka. squeaky cheese! The package had cloudberries on it. It's common for you to take cloudberries with it. It's delicious but not for everyone.
The cheapest bread was actually a few packages to the right of that one. It's the blue bag that says Xtra on it, and it costs 1.06€ (2.12€/kg) in my local grocery store. Finnish grocery stores tend to have a lot of variety with both quality and pricing. You have to know what brands are cheap, and spotting them can be tricky at times. In S-market, Xtra, Kotimaista, Rainbow and Coop are the cheap brands, for example. I've been living in Finland for the better part of two decades now, and it seems to me you just didn't recognize the cheapest alternatives out there. Sure, Finland is expensive, but you can still go a long way on a tight budget as well. Most Finns I know tend to look at the price per kilogram way more than the unit prices, and they just buy whatever is cheapest in bulk.
Finnish language is not related to English in any way, but we have a lot of loan words from other languages, especially English, because most Finns speak it nowadays. And "vegaaninen" is specifically a loan word from English.
"Kasviperäinen" is the Finnish version of vegaaninen, which is often has a negative connotation, but is slowly being integrated. Veganism is often thought of as something only "activists" do.
@@mikkorenvall428 True. Around 1000 words they say. Some are more obvious in South-Eastern Finnish dialect (area where I was born) but people probably have no idea of the origin of those words in these days I guess.
You have to taste rye break (ruisleipä) cause that is really popular in Finland. And the normal long drink is the blue one. And if you guys want taste some Finnish traditional food there is example: mämmi, sausage and Karelian pies
And if you guys want to see great stadium of hockey you have to go in Tampere and see Ilves or Tappara game. Tampere is called the hockey capital of Finland.
My favourite rye bread is Reissumies Tosi Tumma bread, it's a very dark but still quite sweet rye bread that's also soft and comfortable to eat. Especially lightly toasted it's heavenly
7:06 what Ivana thinks is corn are lakkoja, cloudberries. Leipäjuusto is usually served warm, and topped with cloudberries, when Finns get together for coffee. Leipäjuusto is known as "squeaky cheese" because of the noise it makes when you cut into it with a spoon. Also, the "salt" in salmiakki is ammonium chloride. As you probably learned, it's an acquired taste.
7:19 Bread Cheese, Leipäjuusto, is a soft cheese that is most commonly enjoyed with coffee. Some cut it in pieces and put on the coffee mug and put coffee over it. Some just dip it to coffee. For that reason it also called "coffee cheese". Some have it with cloudberry jam. Correct translation might be "Finnish squeaky cheese" as it squeaks when bitten. ;)
Also if it's from Norway it's industrially grown salmon, which is toxic. The fish are very concentrated in the growing plants and they get all kinds of diseases and bug infections so the farmers mix pesticides in the water and feed the fish antibiotics. Only sea caught salmon from Norway is good food but it comes at a double or triple price. Finnish salmon is not much better because the sea of Finland is the most polluted sea in the world.
@3:35 that Salmon is from Norway, it says the country it came from "Norja". Before the sixties and seventies we didn't have that much salmon in our tables, it's after Norwegian salmon came to our stores that everyone could buy it, after the freezing techniques and the processes otherwise made it so that it could be brought here with good quality.
Really nice video, thank you🙂You know, that refreshment, or soft drink, "Long Drink", or "Lonkero" in Finnish is very popular and has many flavors. Originally introduced in the 1952 Helsinki Summer Olympic Games😊
8:14 Actually Finnish language is nothing related to english or to other indo-european languages. Finnish belong to the Finno-ugric language family wich includes Estonian, Karelian and other minority languages mostly spoken in russia. Finnish also has very comlex case system with 15 noun cases. Other finno-ugric languages has comlex case systems too. Finno-ugric languages also has very similar features for an example no articles and no grammatical gender. In Finnish "hän" means both he and she and sorry for my bad english :(
To add to that there are more newer words that have been heavily loaned from English or Swedish language. That is why a word like vegaani is so close to vegan.
Very different grammar from Indo-European languages makes learning Finnish challenging for English speakers. But Finnish language is very logical, pronouncing is logical and consistent, there are no irregular verbs, and very few exceptions in general.
You can get beer for like 1,10 euros a can (0,33cl) It not that bad. You just have to look for the piles of 24can packages and you can rip them open and take few cans if there is not singulars nearby.
Beer cans have deposit, witch you get back when you return them (to the machine, witch gives you a note, witch you give to the register). The price in liters is only for the beer, not the can deposit. The price of can of beer includes the deposit.
The illustration on that Leipäjuusto (Bread cheese) package had pictures of cloudberry berries. Put cloudberrys and cloudberry juice on the bread cheese eat with a coffee spoon or dessert with a fork. Bread cheese is traditionally served with coffee. you can find frozen cloudberry (Hilla, Lakka, Suomuurain same berry many names in finnish language) in the store's frozen section and jam made from cloudberry on the canned goods or jam shelf. if you buy frozen cloudberry, before you put the thawed berries on the bread cheese, remember to put a little fine sugar on the berries.
About beers: you can definitely find cheaper beers, like Keisari lager for 2.07~ € for 0.5 liters. Usually 0.33l cans also go for cheaper, like kotimaista lager for 1.06 €~ or so
indeed bread cheese, the small the picture is actually cloudberry which is a local berry that only grows in swampy lands, they are very delicate and you can probably by them in the store as frozen or fresh
You can get cinnamon buns cheaper, you just gotta buy the low-tier one from, I guess, Rainbow/Coop. Fazer is a high-end brand *when it goes to pastries and fresh bread.*
Cheese, try Juustoportti brandy pähkinä, (brandy-nut) That lemon lonkero is terrible new flavour. You need the blue and white grape version and it needs to be really cold.
Your bread cheese guessing gane was funny to watch as a Fin 😂 Leipäjuusto is pretty much a kinda rubbery cheese that acts as a bread when you eat it with toppings, usually cloudberry jam wich is pictured there on the packacing the "corn"
12:28 Fun fact: in Finland, coffee is drunk more than in the rest of the world. Finns consume yearly at least 10kg of roasted coffe per person. Most Finns drink 3-5cups of coffee a day. So that means we really do love coffee
Wish i would had been there in the store with you to point out actually cheap or expensive alternatives and how, why and what products are the way they are. But great video, fun to see foreigners perspective in our grocery store.
We have almost identical prices here in Sweden, one thing that stood out was how expensive the tomatos were in Finland. In my city theyre more than half the price per kilo. Our coffee here is considered expensive these days for a Swede but its funny you guys seem to think its cheap (Same price as in finland) Great and interesting video!
Tomatoes and cucumbers are extremely expensive in Sweden. Most of them are imported unlike Finland. Even in the winter I would never buy imported ones, in Sweden domestic ones are often not even available due to the high prices.
@@JulleCS2 To be fair, those NAMS tomatoes are really, really good. I sometimes buy them when I make something where they're served fresh and the flavor really matters.
Salmiakki is not normal sodium chloride salt. It is ammonium chloride salt instead and tastes different. If people are interested in different salts and tastes, there's old video of a australian chemist trying like 8 different salts with his friends for what they taste like.
If you fancy hights like the pipe in the beginning, you can visit the olympic stadium tower. I'm afraid of heights, but was fine. Not the best time to visit as Hki is pretty gloomy atm. When the green season hits, the city is gorgeous. Also the smoked salmon in your vid is cold smoked, which is different to warm smoked. Also significantly more expensive. The supermarket you visited is a posh, expensive one, though high quality and good selection. Nothing is cheap in the city centre, especially along Bulevardi and south from there. Tourists always find the most expensive shops and cafes.
6:49 In Finnish language if something is written together it means one thing and if it is separately it means separate thing from the other word. "Juustoleipä" would mean one thing and would indicate a "bread made of cheese". "Juusto leipä" would mean a "bread of cheese": It is bit annoying when they do not add the - after the word if it continues on next line just like the package you are holding. PS. The orange thing is a cloudberry since it is often/traditionally eaten with cloudberry jam spread over the cheese bread.
4:10 That is actually cold smoked salmon filet which is the most expensive variety. For salmon or lohi the keywords to look for - in a most often increasing order of price - are graavi- = cooked without heat with salt or acid (from swe. tomb or entombed) loimu- = cooked on a wooden flame, slightly smoky savu- = smoked kylmäsavu = cold smoked, smoke is cooled to room temp or below before it cooks the fish Otherwise expect your salmon to be fried or baked.
Reason for the drinks liter price being different is because there is "pantti" (pledge, or whatever), what you get back when you return the empty package to the store. You get 0,15€ for cans, 0,10€ for glass bottles, for plastic ones you get 0,10€ under 0,35L, 0,20€ under 1L and 0,40€ over 1L
The smokestack and old buildings used to be the Sinebrychoff (Koff) brewery, built on the edge of the city in the early 1800s. It moved out of the city some 30 years ago. The traditional beer horses you saw at the first hockey game are still living in the old stables and the old Sinebrychoff mansion on the same block is an art museum.
Cheapest beer is in the small 0.33liter cans. Salmiakki-icecream is the best is icecream in the world. Long drink which you took is not the original, blue one is. That Xtra coffee isn't really coffee... its something else :D
There's different sizes of grocery stores within the same company chain, that Supermarket is a lot smaller than the same company's hypermarket called Prisma, which is a "Walmart" style of store (but you would need a car in most cities) and generally the bigger the store the cheaper the prices (which also means that the corner shop sized store is again more expensive than Supermarket).
Finns drink the most amount of coffee in the world per capita, so the market is huge for a country of this size. We also have many domestic roasteries. That is what keeps the prices reasonable, even though they have been going up lately. Actually the state of inflation in Finland is often measured in how much the price of a pack of coffee has risen. 😅
Yeah salmon is expensive, but vendace fish (muikku) is cheap. In my nearby big grocery store it's only 7 euros a kilo, when it's not on sale. And you don't have to remove the fishbones, just fry and eat the whole thing. I only buy salmon when it's on sale.
The Cheese bread is a must try. it's also called squeeky cheese😅... But. You have to try it with cloudberry jam... (It's cloudberries on the picture on top of the package). Some people like to warm the cheese a little bit in a microwave before they put the jam on and eat it but many likes to eat it cold. I like it cold and with much jam. Also for me coffee is a must with it (but i don't really know if it's a must thing)
I would recommend also testing "Sukulaku" (the brown liquorice sticks in bottom left corner at 11:00). Very good basic Finnish liquorice that kids typically love.
i highly recommend you try out that coolhead's salmiakki rasberry sour! really good. also the other flavours. and if you have time go and visit their brewery in viikki!
Leipäjuusto - Bread cheese, also known as squeeky cheese. Most people eat it with whipped cream and cloudberries, maybe add caramel sauce too. It works best if you heat it up a bit. I use it cold in salads. For example rucola, cucumber, smoked reindeer (or cheaper version smoked horse), grapes, squeeky cheese and top with mustard sauce. I think coffee is a product many shops use as lure-in. People come to buy cheap coffee, but they also end up buying other stuff too. So even the shops don't make much profit of the coffee, they will make profit of the other products people buy.
You Guys should really visit Porvoo it's 50km from Helsinki. Porvoo is the second oldest city in Finland and oldtown in Porvoo is beautiful. Higly recommended!
I'm glad you tried the breadcheese in the restaurant, it's an ok desert in my opinion and my british dad loves cloud berry. alcohol isn't cheap in finland just a note and one mistake often foreigners make with salmiakki is that they chew it like they are gummy bears.
Thanks for nice video. In Finland is basicly three shops: S, K and german Lidl. Some how S has most expensive fish. I buy fish from K, its usually sooo much cheaper, same quality. K makes profit by everything else, basic food is cheap. (But not too cheap.)
Oh man, so many things to unpack here. Finland produces a lot of milk and cheese, and specialty cheeses cost more. Finns do like bread, and the sliced breads are typically the "easier" to consume. Meat is pretty expensive these days. Beer is not that expensive, though more expensive than a few years ago. It's nowadays illegal to offer discounts when buying more alcohol.
One thing that is afaik exclusice to Finland, is the dip for chips. You buy a 12cmx5cm bag of spice and a can of sourcream (kermaviili) and mix them. Eat with the chips. Its awesome Estella - Kypsytetty juusto with the Sweet Chili dip.. you cant stop eating
s-market is not kinda a supermarket, its more like a normal market here but prisma and K-citymarket are supermarkets and in prisma and k-citymarket the prices are usually lower.
You can see the orange sixpack on the bottom left at about 9:36, it's the "vaalea lager" and it's the cheapest beer in Finland, it costs 1,02€ per 0.33L can I believe. Also I see you were wondering about if you could get a discount for buying more beer and the answer is no, it's actually illegal in Finland for markets to run such campaigns on alcohol products. It applies to packs too so it doesn't matter if you get a 24-pack or a single can, the price per can is the excact same.
Let me tell you something, we Finns really love the Mexican food. That's why you see Tex-Mex aisles in almost every store. Tortillas are relatively cheap, easy to make and goddamn delicious. Weekend with tortillas and Karhu 5,3 Beer is unbeatable combo!
Hello, cool video! S-market and K-Market tend to be above the average price, I suggest to use Citymarket or Prisma. Lidl is also very cheap here. Also we have R-kioski which is like 7-Eleven, you get 5 dl (0,5l) coffee just around 3€, I buy that usually, and it's also very good coffee, I suggest to pick coffee that way in somepoint! In Finland was just some days ago sunny, I hope you see here also sunny days! Spring is also just behind the corner
That 4€ bread is handbaked(labour isn't cheap) in the store the same morning those other breads with plastic packaging come from a factory. There is also a third category where the stuff is frozen and then baked in the morning as well but they aren't handmade except the oven part. Once you get used to the 4€ bread there is no way you'll buy those cheap ones again. but many people buy them anyway as they don't really care what their bread tastes, or can't afford. At 3:10 you can see the bakery, those products in front of it are also made the same morning in there that's why they are expensive, you can find cheap cinnamon rolls from swedish big factories (pågen) in the shelves. That's the result of having to pay workers real wages, they are not working on minimum wage and if they start baking in the night they get even some extra for that. Their pay is still quite bad in finnish standards but not bad compared to the rest of the world. I can explain about everything about why stuff happens in supermarkets as I work in the logistics supplying these markets, feel free to ask.
these days i bake my own bread almost every day, it costs about 4€/month ! actual cost might be bit more but still you can save a lot just on bread if you can make one yourself and does not really take much effort when you get used to make those.

A detail which isn't often mentioned is how Finnish dairy carton are marked with colors. What I mean is:
Light blue = milk, 0% fat

bread cheese is cheese, you cut it into cubes and eat with cloudberry jam
and usually it is heated before eating
The name Leipäjuusto refers more to the shape than ingredients😊 A traditional way in some parts of Finland is to cut the cheese into small cubes and put them in your coffee, and eat it warm with spoon… Today it’s being used as warm dessert with cream and berries etc, but also as topping in salads
The picture in the breadcheese/squeaky cheese wasnt corn but cloudberry
This particular store is located in an affluent area. That causes the selection and pricing to be sorta upscale-ish. That expensive salmon you were checking out(from Norway btw) usually costs around 12-20€/kg when on sale.
Dude, you bought the lemon one. The original OriGINal Long Drink is the grapefruit one. Should try it. But remember to buy the same brand as the lemon one (Hartwall), since the other brand's version pretty much sucks (Koff).
And make sure you pick Original Long Drink which is made from gin, water and grapefruit not that Cool Grape one wich is produced by fermentation process.
Thanks for the video. Finnish veggies, especially tomatoes, are naturally a lot cheaper (and more delicious) in summer than in winter. It is not uncommon to find them at 1-2 €/kg in summer. I rarely buy tomatoes during winter due to the insane price and worse taste. And in general, if one wants to save as much as possible in buying groceries, he/she would go to Prisma or Lidl and buy their own cheap-end brands such as "Xtra", "Kotimaista" or "Rainbow". The premium brands are always clearly more expensive. This was an S-Market which is not the cheapest place but also not as expensive as K-Market or Sale would have been. And as a rule of thumb, everything unhealthy such as candies and especially alcohol is usually quite expensive in Finland due to taxes.
Yeah during season the vegetables are a lot cheaper.
And if one wants to support the farmers, leave all the stores own brands (extra, K-menu, rainbow, kotimaista, pirkka etc.)
These are what they use to get bigger cut to them self.

The Fazer made baked goods are usually super expensive (in my point of view) but there are alternative options, not really sure what company provides them but they are alot cheaper and still has a good taste
Where do you find a cheaper fresh piispanmunkki?

The thing is Fazer usually makes them at the store, and of course you have to pay premium for freshly baked and also Fazer needs to cover the rent for their spot on the store. And Fazer is a name brand, so there's that as well.
Fun fact: Finnish is not related to English. English is an Indo-European language whereas Finnish is an Uralic language. Finnish does have a lot of loan words from English and Swedish though.
True.
7:00 Leipäjuusto / bread cheese: those were images of cloudberries on the package, not corn. It is customary to have cloudberry jam with it ( it is cheese, not bread :) ).
It's "breadcheese" because fresh curd is flattened and then baked like a bred. Traditionally with masonry oven, dairy industry just use electric ovens. Normal cheese is cured over time with microbes.
Not all industry use electric, there are also industrial gas ovens and masonry made ovens.
Juustoleipä aka. leipäjuusto aka. squeaky cheese! The package had cloudberries on it. It's common for you to take cloudberries with it. It's delicious but not for everyone.
Awesome supermarket tour in Finland. Thanks for sharing 😍
The cheapest bread was actually a few packages to the right of that one. It's the blue bag that says Xtra on it, and it costs 1.06€ (2.12€/kg) in my local grocery store.
Finnish grocery stores tend to have a lot of variety with both quality and pricing. You have to know what brands are cheap, and spotting them can be tricky at times. In S-market, Xtra, Kotimaista, Rainbow and Coop are the cheap brands, for example.
I've been living in Finland for the better part of two decades now, and it seems to me you just didn't recognize the cheapest alternatives out there. Sure, Finland is expensive, but you can still go a long way on a tight budget as well. Most Finns I know tend to look at the price per kilogram way more than the unit prices, and they just buy whatever is cheapest in bulk.
Finnish language is not related to English in any way, but we have a lot of loan words from other languages, especially English, because most Finns speak it nowadays. And "vegaaninen" is specifically a loan word from English.
I'd say most loan words are from Swedish as the amount of those are c. 4000 in Finnish language.
"Kasviperäinen" is the Finnish version of vegaaninen, which is often has a negative connotation, but is slowly being integrated. Veganism is often thought of as something only "activists" do.
@@joona2000 There are also lots of word of Russian origin in finnish, but you won't regognise the origin anymore.
@@esaedvik That's right, and saying it in english tend to make things 'more sexy' and somehow international, though we have a finnish word for it.
@@mikkorenvall428 True. Around 1000 words they say. Some are more obvious in South-Eastern Finnish dialect (area where I was born) but people probably have no idea of the origin of those words in these days I guess.
You have to taste rye break (ruisleipä) cause that is really popular in Finland. And the normal long drink is the blue one. And if you guys want taste some Finnish traditional food there is example: mämmi, sausage and Karelian pies
And if you guys want to see great stadium of hockey you have to go in Tampere and see Ilves or Tappara game. Tampere is called the hockey capital of Finland.
most people dislike mämmi, sausages, karelian pies. there are good foods instead of these memes
@@cubertmiso I don't believe it.
@@cubertmiso Mämmi I can understand, but people dislike sausages and Karelian pies? Why? Both are very nice combined with other stuff.
My favourite rye bread is Reissumies Tosi Tumma bread, it's a very dark but still quite sweet rye bread that's also soft and comfortable to eat. Especially lightly toasted it's heavenly
7:06 what Ivana thinks is corn are lakkoja, cloudberries. Leipäjuusto is usually served warm, and topped with cloudberries, when Finns get together for coffee. Leipäjuusto is known as "squeaky cheese" because of the noise it makes when you cut into it with a spoon. Also, the "salt" in salmiakki is ammonium chloride. As you probably learned, it's an acquired taste.
7:19 Bread Cheese, Leipäjuusto, is a soft cheese that is most commonly enjoyed with coffee. Some cut it in pieces and put on the coffee mug and put coffee over it. Some just dip it to coffee. For that reason it also called "coffee cheese". Some have it with cloudberry jam.
Correct translation might be "Finnish squeaky cheese" as it squeaks when bitten. ;)
Squeaky cheese for life! I sometimes just cut slab of it and put it ontop of rye bread.
that shop is in the heart of Helsinki, everything is more expensive than usual when not in the heart of Helsinki
So that shop was actually cheap?
That "Sausage" you showed at 4:52 was actually liver patee. A spread meant for bread.
3:35 "caught in the cold water nearby" it literally says Norway 😂
Also if it's from Norway it's industrially grown salmon, which is toxic. The fish are very concentrated in the growing plants and they get all kinds of diseases and bug infections so the farmers mix pesticides in the water and feed the fish antibiotics. Only sea caught salmon from Norway is good food but it comes at a double or triple price. Finnish salmon is not much better because the sea of Finland is the most polluted sea in the world.
Everything went up by 20% since 2020
Normal 0,33L lager beer is around 1.00€ or 3€ per 1L, you bought wheat beer which is "specialty" beer
@3:35 that Salmon is from Norway, it says the country it came from "Norja". Before the sixties and seventies we didn't have that much salmon in our tables, it's after Norwegian salmon came to our stores that everyone could buy it, after the freezing techniques and the processes otherwise made it so that it could be brought here with good quality.
Really nice video, thank you🙂You know, that refreshment, or soft drink, "Long Drink", or "Lonkero" in Finnish is very popular and has many flavors. Originally introduced in the 1952 Helsinki Summer Olympic Games😊
At 4:54 where you show the sausage price, those are not regular sausages they are liver pâté in sausage form, very popular thing to spread on bread.
8:14 Actually Finnish language is nothing related to english or to other indo-european languages. Finnish belong to the Finno-ugric language family wich includes Estonian, Karelian and other minority languages mostly spoken in russia. Finnish also has very comlex case system with 15 noun cases. Other finno-ugric languages has comlex case systems too. Finno-ugric languages also has very similar features for an example no articles and no grammatical gender. In Finnish "hän" means both he and she and sorry for my bad english :(
Finno-Ugric language family also includes Hungarian ;)
@@aussietomik84 yes, I forgot to mention that...
To add to that there are more newer words that have been heavily loaned from English or Swedish language. That is why a word like vegaani is so close to vegan.
@@juhokaartoaho 💯
Very different grammar from Indo-European languages makes learning Finnish challenging for English speakers. But Finnish language is very logical, pronouncing is logical and consistent, there are no irregular verbs, and very few exceptions in general.
Breadcheese lightly toasted on a pan, so it slightly melts, and cloudberry jam on that, is next to heaven.
Some warm cream on the cheese is delicious. If you want to have a quick exotic snac, chop the cheese and dunk it in hot black coffee.
You can get beer for like 1,10 euros a can (0,33cl) It not that bad. You just have to look for the piles of 24can packages and you can rip them open and take few cans if there is not singulars nearby.
13:35 - That flavour wasn't the most original of Originals! 🤭😅 It's the light blue can, grapefruit flavoured long drink. 😊
12:00 its so expensive old days it was like 2e one pack
It's fun to watch you guys experience Finland! Welcome! 😊
Beer cans have deposit, witch you get back when you return them (to the machine, witch gives you a note, witch you give to the register). The price in liters is only for the beer, not the can deposit. The price of can of beer includes the deposit.
The illustration on that Leipäjuusto (Bread cheese) package had pictures of cloudberry berries. Put cloudberrys and cloudberry juice on the bread cheese eat with a coffee spoon or dessert with a fork. Bread cheese is traditionally served with coffee. you can find frozen cloudberry (Hilla, Lakka, Suomuurain same berry many names in finnish language) in the store's frozen section and jam made from cloudberry on the canned goods or jam shelf. if you buy frozen cloudberry, before you put the thawed berries on the bread cheese, remember to put a little fine sugar on the berries.
Hello from Ghana
You should try the light blue coloured long drink, it is THE original one.
You gotta try that bread-cheese, it's phenomenal with some cloudberry-jam
It's fun to see you exploring the Finnish grocery store!
About beers: you can definitely find cheaper beers, like Keisari lager for 2.07~ € for 0.5 liters. Usually 0.33l cans also go for cheaper, like kotimaista lager for 1.06 €~ or so
indeed bread cheese, the small the picture is actually cloudberry which is a local berry that only grows in swampy lands, they are very delicate and you can probably by them in the store as frozen or fresh
You can get cinnamon buns cheaper, you just gotta buy the low-tier one from, I guess, Rainbow/Coop. Fazer is a high-end brand *when it goes to pastries and fresh bread.*
Cheese, try Juustoportti brandy pähkinä, (brandy-nut)
That lemon lonkero is terrible new flavour. You need the blue and white grape version and it needs to be really cold.
Your bread cheese guessing gane was funny to watch as a Fin 😂 Leipäjuusto is pretty much a kinda rubbery cheese that acts as a bread when you eat it with toppings, usually cloudberry jam wich is pictured there on the packacing the "corn"
#JetFam we are definitely going to need a video of You trying multiple different salmiakkis. Hopefully you've enjoyed Helsinki so far!
12:28
Fun fact: in Finland, coffee is drunk more than in the rest of the world. Finns consume yearly at least 10kg of roasted coffe per person. Most Finns drink 3-5cups of coffee a day.
So that means we really do love coffee
Hello from Ghana
4:54 that's liver sausage which is delicious on it's on own or as spread on a sandwich
I would still call it liver paste, it's just stored in a sausage-shaped container (while liver sausage is the direct translation).
True @@pasiojala3227
Wish i would had been there in the store with you to point out actually cheap or expensive alternatives and how, why and what products are the way they are. But great video, fun to see foreigners perspective in our grocery store.
We have almost identical prices here in Sweden, one thing that stood out was how expensive the tomatos were in Finland. In my city theyre more than half the price per kilo. Our coffee here is considered expensive these days for a Swede but its funny you guys seem to think its cheap (Same price as in finland) Great and interesting video!
Those were some ~specialty~ tomatoes. You can get imported cherry tomatoes for around 6 euros per kilo.
@@nildesperandum3 yeah that makes more sense. These tomatoed better makes me see the future or something 😂
Tomatoes and cucumbers are extremely expensive in Sweden. Most of them are imported unlike Finland. Even in the winter I would never buy imported ones, in Sweden domestic ones are often not even available due to the high prices.
tomatoes has seasonal prices and just now is pretty high price but cheapest ones are about 5-6€/kg and some fancy ones can be 25€/kg
@@JulleCS2 To be fair, those NAMS tomatoes are really, really good. I sometimes buy them when I make something where they're served fresh and the flavor really matters.
Salmiakki is not normal sodium chloride salt. It is ammonium chloride salt instead and tastes different.
If people are interested in different salts and tastes, there's old video of a australian chemist trying like 8 different salts with his friends for what they taste like.
You should definitely take a ferry over to Åland Islands!
This kind of TH-camrs don´t do research so they have no idea of Åland. They just visit some local shit shop in Helsingfors for getting views .
you bought quality sinappi brand, very nice choise, although i dont like the strong one i take medium, but still nice one dude.
If you fancy hights like the pipe in the beginning, you can visit the olympic stadium tower. I'm afraid of heights, but was fine. Not the best time to visit as Hki is pretty gloomy atm. When the green season hits, the city is gorgeous. Also the smoked salmon in your vid is cold smoked, which is different to warm smoked. Also significantly more expensive.
The supermarket you visited is a posh, expensive one, though high quality and good selection. Nothing is cheap in the city centre, especially along Bulevardi and south from there. Tourists always find the most expensive shops and cafes.
I'm in Quebec and the grocery stores here all have the price per 100g advertised on the price tags. It's small but it's there.
6:49 In Finnish language if something is written together it means one thing and if it is separately it means separate thing from the other word.
"Juustoleipä" would mean one thing and would indicate a "bread made of cheese".
"Juusto leipä" would mean a "bread of cheese":
It is bit annoying when they do not add the - after the word if it continues on next line just like the package you are holding.
PS. The orange thing is a cloudberry since it is often/traditionally eaten with cloudberry jam spread over the cheese bread.
4:10 That is actually cold smoked salmon filet which is the most expensive variety.
For salmon or lohi the keywords to look for - in a most often increasing order of price - are
graavi- = cooked without heat with salt or acid (from swe. tomb or entombed)
loimu- = cooked on a wooden flame, slightly smoky
savu- = smoked
kylmäsavu = cold smoked, smoke is cooled to room temp or below before it cooks the fish
Otherwise expect your salmon to be fried or baked.
Reason for the drinks liter price being different is because there is "pantti" (pledge, or whatever), what you get back when you return the empty package to the store. You get 0,15€ for cans, 0,10€ for glass bottles, for plastic ones you get 0,10€ under 0,35L, 0,20€ under 1L and 0,40€ over 1L
The smokestack and old buildings used to be the Sinebrychoff (Koff) brewery, built on the edge of the city in the early 1800s. It moved out of the city some 30 years ago. The traditional beer horses you saw at the first hockey game are still living in the old stables and the old Sinebrychoff mansion on the same block is an art museum.
Everytime my dad comes to finland the first thing is grocerystore! Leipäjuusto + ruisleipä and jam!
12:08 Fun fact. it's expensive in finnish standards. There are often sales for 2 packs of coffee for like 6 euros.
You sweethearts are the greatest.
4:53 that's not sausage. That was liver pate.
Cheapest beer is in the small 0.33liter cans. Salmiakki-icecream is the best is icecream in the world. Long drink which you took is not the original, blue one is.
That Xtra coffee isn't really coffee... its something else :D
Mix xtra coffee with juhla mokka 50/50 and you have better coffee than juhla mokka. Give it a try 😉
What is really that Xtra coffee?
Taste something like soil and sawdust, shouldn't be allowed to be called "coffee" especially in EU@@RaduRadonys
The longdrink that's usually drunk is not the yellow one but the light blue one (gin&grapefruit)
There's different sizes of grocery stores within the same company chain, that Supermarket is a lot smaller than the same company's hypermarket called Prisma, which is a "Walmart" style of store (but you would need a car in most cities) and generally the bigger the store the cheaper the prices (which also means that the corner shop sized store is again more expensive than Supermarket).
Finns drink the most amount of coffee in the world per capita, so the market is huge for a country of this size. We also have many domestic roasteries. That is what keeps the prices reasonable, even though they have been going up lately. Actually the state of inflation in Finland is often measured in how much the price of a pack of coffee has risen. 😅
Yeah salmon is expensive, but vendace fish (muikku) is cheap. In my nearby big grocery store it's only 7 euros a kilo, when it's not on sale. And you don't have to remove the fishbones, just fry and eat the whole thing. I only buy salmon when it's on sale.
Next time buy the light blue toned long drink, gin&grapefruit. That's the original lonkero.
Hello ❤
The Cheese bread is a must try. it's also called squeeky cheese😅... But. You have to try it with cloudberry jam... (It's cloudberries on the picture on top of the package). Some people like to warm the cheese a little bit in a microwave before they put the jam on and eat it but many likes to eat it cold.
I like it cold and with much jam. Also for me coffee is a must with it (but i don't really know if it's a must thing)
*bread cheese...
I would recommend also testing "Sukulaku" (the brown liquorice sticks in bottom left corner at 11:00). Very good basic Finnish liquorice that kids typically love.
Hello mikko ❤
i highly recommend you try out that coolhead's salmiakki rasberry sour! really good. also the other flavours. and if you have time go and visit their brewery in viikki!
Leipäjuusto - Bread cheese, also known as squeeky cheese. Most people eat it with whipped cream and cloudberries, maybe add caramel sauce too. It works best if you heat it up a bit.
I use it cold in salads. For example rucola, cucumber, smoked reindeer (or cheaper version smoked horse), grapes, squeeky cheese and top with mustard sauce.
I think coffee is a product many shops use as lure-in. People come to buy cheap coffee, but they also end up buying other stuff too. So even the shops don't make much profit of the coffee, they will make profit of the other products people buy.
You Guys should really visit Porvoo it's 50km from Helsinki. Porvoo is the second oldest city in Finland and oldtown in Porvoo is beautiful. Higly recommended!
I'm glad you tried the breadcheese in the restaurant, it's an ok desert in my opinion and my british dad loves cloud berry. alcohol isn't cheap in finland just a note and one mistake often foreigners make with salmiakki is that they chew it like they are gummy bears.
Thanks for nice video. In Finland is basicly three shops: S, K and german Lidl. Some how S has most expensive fish. I buy fish from K, its usually sooo much cheaper, same quality. K makes profit by everything else, basic food is cheap. (But not too cheap.)
12:27 Finns are actually the biggest coffee drinkers in the world. One person drinks about 10kg coffee in a year
Love the supermarket tours. Im with you Ivana, not a lover of black licorice. Enjoy the food you bought. Keep safe, healthy and happy.
how expensive those potatoes are? normal brushed potatoes are 0.79€/kg here north.
Smoked salmon and blueberry juice is great
Oh man, so many things to unpack here. Finland produces a lot of milk and cheese, and specialty cheeses cost more. Finns do like bread, and the sliced breads are typically the "easier" to consume. Meat is pretty expensive these days. Beer is not that expensive, though more expensive than a few years ago. It's nowadays illegal to offer discounts when buying more alcohol.
One thing that is afaik exclusice to Finland, is the dip for chips. You buy a 12cmx5cm bag of spice and a can of sourcream (kermaviili) and mix them. Eat with the chips. Its awesome
Estella - Kypsytetty juusto with the Sweet Chili dip.. you cant stop eating
When comparing prices note that you are having Helsinki tax (bc it is the capital) and also since it is rather small market, the prices are higher.
I hope you also do a video of tasting those treats.
8:20 There's a pun there. "Muu" is the noise cows make in Finnish, but it can also mean "other", or "different", something like that.
s-market is not kinda a supermarket, its more like a normal market here but prisma and K-citymarket are supermarkets and in prisma and k-citymarket the prices are usually lower.
You can see the orange sixpack on the bottom left at about 9:36, it's the "vaalea lager" and it's the cheapest beer in Finland, it costs 1,02€ per 0.33L can I believe. Also I see you were wondering about if you could get a discount for buying more beer and the answer is no, it's actually illegal in Finland for markets to run such campaigns on alcohol products. It applies to packs too so it doesn't matter if you get a 24-pack or a single can, the price per can is the excact same.
Let me tell you something, we Finns really love the Mexican food. That's why you see Tex-Mex aisles in almost every store. Tortillas are relatively cheap, easy to make and goddamn delicious.
Weekend with tortillas and Karhu 5,3 Beer is unbeatable combo!
Hello, cool video! S-market and K-Market tend to be above the average price, I suggest to use Citymarket or Prisma. Lidl is also very cheap here. Also we have R-kioski which is like 7-Eleven, you get 5 dl (0,5l) coffee just around 3€, I buy that usually, and it's also very good coffee, I suggest to pick coffee that way in somepoint! In Finland was just some days ago sunny, I hope you see here also sunny days! Spring is also just behind the corner
The ”bread cheese” is a traditional cheese dish usually heated up and served with cloudberry jam. those corn looking bits are cloudeberries
That 4€ bread is handbaked(labour isn't cheap) in the store the same morning those other breads with plastic packaging come from a factory. There is also a third category where the stuff is frozen and then baked in the morning as well but they aren't handmade except the oven part.
Once you get used to the 4€ bread there is no way you'll buy those cheap ones again. but many people buy them anyway as they don't really care what their bread tastes, or can't afford.
At 3:10 you can see the bakery, those products in front of it are also made the same morning in there that's why they are expensive, you can find cheap cinnamon rolls from swedish big factories (pågen) in the shelves. That's the result of having to pay workers real wages, they are not working on minimum wage and if they start baking in the night they get even some extra for that. Their pay is still quite bad in finnish standards but not bad compared to the rest of the world.
I can explain about everything about why stuff happens in supermarkets as I work in the logistics supplying these markets, feel free to ask.
The Swedish products are mostly disgusting, they use a lot of inferior ingredients.
these days i bake my own bread almost every day, it costs about 4€/month ! actual cost might be bit more but still you can save a lot just on bread if you can make one yourself and does not really take much effort when you get used to make those.
If a handmade bread is 4€, I'd rather do it myself at home for 1/4th of the price. Even especially easy with a bread machine.
@@RaduRadonys That 4€ bread isn't made for people who have time to make bread home
