Details

One of the two Christmas stamps 2020 (NVI Julpost). The stamp features homemade 'knäck' toffee, a traditional treat when celebrating Christmas in Åland. 'Knäck' has been made since at least the 19th century and consists of equal parts syrup, sugar and cream left to simmer in a pan. Chopped almond is often used as a seasoning before being poured into small curled paper moulds.
