Dahlberg pays tribute to his roots on Saint Lucia's Day

One more year, and it's already been 49, Dahlberg has celebrated, like every December 13, the holiday of Saint Lucia, a date marked in the Swedish festive calendar that the company, founded by Kjell Dahlberg, has commemorated every year since 1974.

The festival of Saint Lucia is a deep-rooted tradition in Swedish culture, which celebrates the anniversary of this saint, known as 'she who brings the light', every December 13, coinciding with the darkest days of the year. It also serves as the start of the Christmas holidays. Kjell Dahlberg introduced this tradition to the nautical company he founded in Mallorca almost half a century ago. Since then, every year on December 13, Dahlberg organizes a breakfast for its employees and friends with typical Swedish products of this time, such as 'glögg', an appreciated and comforting mulled wine, or ' kanelbullar ', cinnamon buns. which Margarita Dahlberg makes with her own hands, following the family recipe that her grandmother taught her. The company also purchases the delicious 'pepparkakor' gingerbread cookies from the Swedish Church for the occasion.

As dictated by the tradition that they have managed to maintain, throughout the day, friends, clients and collaborators of Dahlberg are invited to visit the company facilities to celebrate Saint Lucia and try these typical delicacies.

“It is a tradition that we carry out every year, without fail. Initially, this celebration was a tribute from my father to his homeland and his roots. Over time, especially after his death, it has acquired even greater significance, since it has become a recognition of the origins of the company," says Margarita Dahlberg, who anticipates that "the day of Saint Lucia of the year “This coming will be even more special, as Dahlberg will celebrate its 50th anniversary.”

The entire Dahlberg team wants to take advantage of this celebration to welcome the Christmas season and wholeheartedly wish its clients, collaborators, suppliers and friends a Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year.
