Perhaps it is, among other things, because Henrik Dichmann has maintained through the 35 years to be making and doing things that have to do with the Danish culture and the Danish products and traditions. In the latest three years, Henrik Dichmann has been building a family business around making Danish pastry and roast pork more known and loved over on this side of the globe.

 

The interview is in Danish language.
