“Annas is so much more than a biscuit”
It is a shortcut to great memories, to perfect spiced pleasure and an incomparably crispy and good silver lining in everyday life: Annas
The foundations for Annas Pepparkakor were laid by the sisters Emma and Anna Karlsson back in 1929 in their home bakery on Artillerigatan in Stockholm. Back then, they baked both ginger thins, or “Pepparkakor” in Swedish and other small cakes. The thins became very popular and the bakery expanded rapidly. The bakery moved to Rödabergsgatan/Torsgatan and in 1945, the actual production of Annas Pepparkakor was moved to larger premises in Johanneshov.
At the start of 1964, the Mattsson family bought the bakery from Anna and Emma. Five years later yet another bakery was bought, Sockerbullen in Årsta, for producing some items as well as Mazarins, short crust croissants, lemon cupcakes and almond buns.
The recipe for Annas Pepparkakor is a well-kept secret containing the traditional spices cinnamon, ginger and cloves.
