Valheim 1.0 New Foods: Northern Morning Fare & Bloodgold

Valheim 1.0 adds Deep North foods: Northern Morning Fare, Baked Poteitr, Cooked Moose Meat and Bloodgold for crafting. Recipes and how to unlock them.

Valheim 1.0’s Deep North did not just add the game’s final biome and boss - it added a whole late-game food chain. The official 1.0 notes name the new dishes: the group feast Northern Morning Fare, cooked dishes Baked Poteitr and Cooked Moose Meat, Cooked Seal Blubber, Kale Chips, and Fish Soup, plus the new Bloodgold crafting material that unlocks the Smoker. This guide lists their recipes, reported stats, and the practical order to unlock them.

Important disclaimer. Iron Gate’s official 1.0 patch notes name these foods but publish no health, stamina, Eitr or duration numbers. Every numeric value below is community-datamined from third-party guides and is presented as indicative only - the live build may differ. Recipes and unlock conditions are consistent across sources and are noted as such.

The New Deep North Food Tier

The new food system blends farmed crops with Moose and Seal drops, then feeds a new Smoker extension for the Cauldron. The headline feast, Northern Morning Fare, is a base/group food placed at a table rather than carried.

Where figures conflict (notably Northern Morning Fare), the exact value is flagged (unverified).

Northern Morning Fare: The Headline Feast

Northern Morning Fare is the standout group food of 1.0. Its recipe is consistent across sources:

• Cooked Moose Meat x3
• Poteitr x5
• Oat Flour x2
• Seasoning of the Gourd x1

Craft it at a Food Preparation Table. The catch is the Seasoning of the Gourd: it is purchased from the Bog Witch, and only becomes available after you defeat Kall Fimbulbringer, the Deep North’s final boss. That gates the feast behind endgame progression on purpose.

On stats, the figures conflict: one profile reports Weight 10, Health 75, Duration 50 minutes, 6 HP/tick, while another reports 85 Health, 85 Stamina and 43 Eitr over 50 minutes. Because the exact numbers conflict, treat the precise profile as unverified community data and expect a balanced, long-duration meal (around 50 minutes) suited to base prep and group sessions. The recipe itself is reliable.

Farmed Crops: Kale, Oats, Poteitr

Three new plantable crops drive the Deep North pantry:

• Kale - seeds gathered from sprouts; eaten directly or turned into Kale Chips (a strong stamina snack at ~105 stamina).
• Oats - feed Oat Flour, Oat Milk, Oatmeal and pancake recipes. Oatmeal is notable for mages: roughly 115 stamina with a large Eitr contribution, so it rivals pure-Eitr foods without costing an entire Eitr slot.
• Poteitr - the root crop behind Baked Poteitr and a key ingredient in Northern Morning Fare; also used in older recipes like Meatballs and Poteitr.

A small dedicated farm is worth it because several recipes branch from crops rather than rare drops - though older high-tier ingredients (Piquant Pie, Roasted Crust Pie) remain useful while you ramp up.

Hunted Moose & Seal

Wildlife supplies the other branch:

• Cooked Moose Meat - high health (reported ~80 HP), a core feast ingredient.
• Cooked Seal Blubber - fatty mid-tier food (~60 HP).
• Smoked Moose Meat / Smoked Fish - made at the new Smoker; described as very high-health and very high-Eitr respectively.

Bloodgold: The Crafting Material Behind the Food Chain

Although “valheim bloodgold” is often searched alongside the new foods, Bloodgold is a crafting material, not food. It drops from Gammeltrolls in the Deep North - but only after you break their petrified bodies with Ember Charges (they turn to stone on death and yield nothing otherwise). Bloodgold is described as one of the core items for building the new weapons, and it is also the reported cost (5 Bloodgold) for the Smoker that unlocks the smoked dishes above. If you want the Deep North food tier, securing a Gammeltroll + Ember Charges loop is step one.

How the Cooking Stations Chain

The Deep North food tier is gated by station progression rather than a single recipe, which is why a fresh 1.0 save needs some setup before these dishes appear:

• Cauldron (pre-existing) handles most cooked dishes and the Fish Soup recipe (Raw Fish + Kale + Ice).
• Smoker is the new Cauldron extension. Reported build cost is 5 Bloodgold and 6 Timberwood. It unlocks Smoked Fish and Smoked Moose Meat, the two highest-impact smoked dishes.
• Food Preparation Table handles feasts. Northern Morning Fare is crafted here, but its recipe needs the Seasoning of the Gourd, which the Bog Witch sells only after Kall Fimbulbringer falls.

Because Bloodgold itself comes from Gammeltrolls (harvested with Ember Charges), the practical order is: reach the Deep North, set up a Gammeltroll + Ember Charges loop for Bloodgold, build the Smoker, then push to the boss for the feast.

Best Food Combos for Each Build

The strongest single number depends on your armor and weapon plan. Community testing frames the late-game loadouts like this:

Numbers in the table are community-reported and indicative; keep three foods active, maintain the Rested buff, and carry replacements before timers drop. Confirm live values in the cooking interface, since Iron Gate has not published official stats.

Where to Go Next

The feast and Bloodgold both sit at the end of the Deep North chain, so the Deep North & Kall Fimbulbringer guide explains how to reach and defeat the boss that unlocks the Seasoning of the Gourd. If you want to locate a good world before committing, the Seed Viewer shows generation, and the console commands guide covers the 1.0 findbiome tools (remember that using devcommands can disable achievements until you opt back in).
