About

Discover the taste of the Mediterranean at Grand Delikatesse – a unique delicatessen and gathering place in the historic Grandgården building, right in the center of Skien. Here you’ll find genuine food experiences, personal service, and carefully selected specialties from across Southern Europe.

  • Cold-pressed olive oils from Italy, Spain and Greece
  • Freshly ground Italian coffee
  • Traditional treats like cantucci alle mandorla

Our skilled chefs are happy to offer cooking tips and inspiration for authentic Italian dishes.

Gifts and Handmade Specialties – Marzipan & Chocolate

Grand Delikatesse is also a gourmet gift shop. We create custom gift boxes with fine foods, olive oils, chocolate, and wine-related products — beautifully wrapped at no extra cost.

Inside our shop you’ll also find Marsipanfabrikken, our small artisan workshop. We handcraft exclusive marzipan from premium Valencia-mandels, shaping and painting each figure by hand before packing them in elegant gift boxes. We also produce our own chocolate — the perfect companion to our marzipan.

Looking for a unique experience? We host themed tasting evenings for companies and private groups, guided by our chefs and sommelier. Enjoy curated selections of wine, cheeses, cured meats, and Mediterranean delicacies.

We also offer a private event venue with seating for up to 50 guests — ideal for courses, meetings, or celebrations.
