Severin threw himself into the job of creating the perfect meatball recipe, a challenge that involved long and passionate discussions with his team and Ingvar Kamprad. Even within Sweden, opinions vary greatly on how a meatball should taste. Between Ingvar hailing from the south, and Severin a couple of dialects north, there were deeply rooted disagreements about what a real Swedish meatball should taste like.

Meat ballsJohnExcellent for a game day snack,especially when My Chiefs win.
Just okNancyThey were not bad, but I was a bit disappointed. I was looking for the Swedish meatballs that IKEA sells and thought this was them, don’t think so. Small and a bit dry. Don’t think I’d buy again.

Quick dinnerMaryAlways good for a quick dinner.
My toddler loves itMilaDelicious and tasty meatballs. Very easy to warm up. My toddler eats it. I will definitely buy more.
Simply MeatballsDanaThe goodness of this product is in the ingredients list. It is short and simple. IKEA meatballs do not contain unhealthy or unnecessary ingredients such as I have found in other brands. The natural flavors make IKEA my meatball of choice.
Very TastyJoanVery tasty with good, firm texture. I would like to see chicken meat replace the pork meat for the meatballs. It would be healthier and I think tastier.

Story
A tasty icon
Millions enjoy IKEA meatballs every year and some admirers report travelling for hours just to order it at an IKEA restaurant. But, the IKEA meatballs as we know them were created as a solution to a tough challenge back in 1985 – failing restaurants.
“Back then, guests in our restaurants were not served in a smooth and quick way and the quality was uneven,” explains Severin Sjöstedt, a Swedish chef who was asked to help out because of his passion for food and traditional Swedish cooking. “It was a serious problem because as Ingvar Kamprad, IKEA founder, put it: ‘It is tough to do business with hungry stomachs’”.
Heated arguments
Cold facts
Over the course of 10 months, Severin hardly left the kitchen. He was totally engulfed and put his heart and soul into finding the right recipe. He not only had to create a meatball that tasted good, he had to create one that could be made in batches of more than 300 kg each.
More than 1 billion sold every year
Nearly a year after the project started, IKEA restaurants began serving the IKEA version of Swedish meatballs. Each time a new IKEA store opened, Severin could see thousands of people lining up to be served. “It warms my heart to know I had a small piece of doing something tasty for a lot of people. The meatball embodies so much of the IKEA culture: it’s convenient, it’s Swedish, and it’s for the many. And after so many years, it’s still on the menu at every IKEA store in the world.”
Form design process
With a taste of Sweden
If Sweden were a taste, it would taste like HUVUDROLL meatballs. Since we launched our meatballs in 1985, they are eaten and loved every year by millions of people everywhere. To enhance the meat flavor, they are gently seasoned. Either serve them classically with mashed potatoes, cream sauce and lingonberry jam, a dish with both harmony and flavor contrasts – or choose new, more unexpected combinations. Regardless of how they’re enjoyed, our meatballs are always a tasty icon!
