About Us

Our Story

In March 2019 both Kirsti and Sarah found themselves in un-chartered territory when the Covid 19 pandemic hit Norway and the rest of the world. They both found themselves with time on thier hands (something both of them were not used to).

Aurora Spirit Distillery is well known for its Bivrost Products including its Award Winning Gin and in May 2020 its first release of Niflheim Whisky. The crafting of such fine spirits creates a surplus of fruit so, Sarah, with a keen sense of the importance of sustainability and the need to honour the produce of the land, started making marmalade in her kitchen at home.Since Sarah and Kirsti are both creative and experimental in their approach, the next logical step was to infuse the excess fruit with Bivrost Spirits.

In doing so they have developed wonderfully exciting blends of flavours and the Arctic Cauldron was born.

Now, their combined skills and talents, have led to the loving creation of marmalades and hand crafted chocolates all made locally in Lyngen.

Sarah

In 2011 Sarah (from Cornwall in the UK) planned a trip to see the Northern Lights in Lyngseidet,  a visit that turned into into a love affair with this stunning part of Northern Norway.

She dreamed of living there and in 2018 her dream was realised, when she finally moved North and set up hime in the Arctic Circle.  

Sarah started working with Aurora Spirit (The Worlds most Northerly Whisky Distillery) and her work in production, as a visitor guide as manager of Lyngen Resort has led her to develop strong links and partnerships with local buisnesses, including Lyngen Catering.
