Egelykke butter

Egelykke is a prominent Danish dairy brand primarily known for its butter and spreadable products. It originated as a private label for the Danish retail giant Salling Group (formerly Dansk Supermarked), specifically tailored for its supermarket chains such as Netto, Bilka, and føtex.

The product is manufactured in Denmark, typically utilizing Danish milk supplied by major dairies. While Salling Group owns the trademark and dictates the brand's positioning, the actual production is often outsourced to established Danish dairy processors like Arla Foods or local regional creameries, ensuring high quality and a traditional Danish flavor profile.

As of 2026, Egelykke remains under the ultimate ownership of the Salling Group, which is 100% owned by the Salling Foundations (Salling Fondene). This unique ownership structure means that profits from the brand are reinvested into the business or donated to charitable causes in Denmark, supporting culture, education, and social projects.
