Kalcium
The place, the building and the food.
The restaurant begins in Sankt Olof — in the dairy’s history, the surrounding landscape and the work in the kitchen.
The restaurant
An old dairy, a contemporary kitchen.
Restaurang Kalcium is a small rural fine-dining restaurant in Sankt Olof, Österlen. We serve set menus only: four courses in The Dining Room, a longer tasting menu at Chef’s Table and a monthly Long Lunch. The Dining Room seats 24 and Chef’s Table seats eight.
The cooking begins with produce and food memories from Skåne and Österlen, with French craft in the sauces, cooking and structure. Menus follow the season and are written to keep flavours clear, dishes legible and the meal coherent.
The dairy was built in 1902 and opened in 1907. Victor Schack and his father bought the weathered property in 2022 and allowed traces of the dairy to remain through the restoration. The restaurant opened in May 2024 and has since been recognised by 360°Eat Guide and Dagens Industri; the restoration was also nominated for Simrishamn’s Building Conservation Award.
