Here in Norway our locally produced strawberries are always a big deal, as they taste orders of magnitude better than imported ones. Stalls pop up all over selling them direct from farms, and the first ones of the season usually go for $10+ for a ~500g/1lbs basket. Part of it is the short time from they're picked and till they're in the stores/stalls for sale. Another is the specific breed of strawberries, there's a large variety between the various ones. But our weather plays a large role[1], up north with our long sunny days and cool nights combining to make the berries grow slower and taste more. To me they most certainly live up to their promise, and enjoy them a lot each season.
