Arla Skyr Naturel 0% Fat

Brand Origin and Overview

Arla Skyr is a prominent dairy line produced by Arla Foods, a leading multinational dairy cooperative. While the skyr recipe and culinary tradition originate from Iceland, where it has been produced for over a thousand years, Arla adapted the concept to offer high-protein, Icelandic-style strained yogurt across European markets.

Corporate Ownership

The Arla brand belongs to Arla Foods amba, a major transnational dairy cooperative owned by dairy farmers across Denmark, Sweden, the United Kingdom, Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands. The cooperative was formed in 2000 through the merger of Swedish dairy cooperative Arla and Danish dairy company MD Foods, and is officially headquartered in Viby, Denmark.

Manufacturing and Distribution

Arla operates several modern dairy processing plants across Europe. Arla Skyr sold in Western Europe, including the Netherlands, is predominantly produced at Arla's large-scale dairy processing facilities in Germany (such as in Upahl) and Denmark. Local distribution within the Netherlands is handled by Arla Foods Nederland B.V., based in Nijkerk.
