Shopping in Ryfylke

Ham and salmon

Ryfylke offers tasty smoked and marinated salmon, and cured Suldal ham ("Suldalsskinke"). These products are sold at local shops throughout Ryfylke.

Fruit and berries

The climate along the fjords of Ryfylke is ideal for growing fruit and berries. Juicy strawberries arrive in June; cherries and blackberries will tempt you in August, while September brings a wonderful harvest of Norwegian plums, pears and apples to the shops.

Traditional handicrafts

During the fairs Ryfylke Days at Sand and Strandadagene at Jørpeland, you will find both edible and lasting things to purchase. Wood carvings, traditional woven rugs and tapestries, hand-made glass, jewellery, wicker chairs ("Jærstoler") and wooden boats are all worth taking a closer look at.
