The penny bun, cep or porcini, is a delectable edible mushroom. Its mild, nutty flavour is suitable for all types of cuisine. In Sweden’s older agricultural communities, people would pick the mushroom to use as kindling but not to eat them. During the 19th century, Jean Bernadotte imported his French culinary habits when he ascended the throne, becoming Charles XIV of Sweden. As a result, his culinary influence spread to the local aristocracy and the Swedish name for the mushroom, ‘karljohan’, was born.
The hand-carved hooks are artistic yet authentic depictions of animals, birds and plants. Each head is a genuine wooden craft piece and is decorated with eco-friendly paint with a unique expression, attached to a metal hook. The bronze-coloured hook can hold a maximum load of 10 kg. All hooks come with a short informative booklet about the species.
