A splendid addition to Orkney’s food & drink scene. Karin, founder creator of Orkney Sourdough Co., is a very gifted Swedish baker in love with Orkney! A professional chef to trade, she has worked in hotels in Copenhagen and Zanzibar before settling in Orkney with her family. Her husband is diving for scallops off Kirkwall whilst Karin is creating masterpieces with dough in the kitchen!

Sweden has a well deserved reputation for excellent bread and Karin returned to her homeland last year to undertake a gastronomic immersion with some of its best artisan bakers, bringing her new found skills back home to Kirkwall.

Her sourdough and sweet rolls are available from Shearers in Kirkwall

..and also some days a week at @bayleafdelicatessen in Stromness

Private orders available Monday – Saturday, send email for pre order 

Her bread & buns are available locally and by private order and she can be seen with her cool cycle (pictured with Eva Gunnare, Essense of Lapland, at Orkney Science Festival) out and about. Her sourdoughs, sweet creations and cinnamon buns are in great demand. You can contact her direct to place orders. She also supplies discerning local chefs.
