Den Gamle Fabrik Fruit Spread

Den Gamle Fabrik, which translates to 'The Old Factory', is one of Denmark's most prestigious and historic brands of fruit preserves and spreads. The brand's history dates back to 1834 when it began in a basement on H.C. Andersens Boulevard in Copenhagen. It is widely recognized for its high-quality jams that are traditionally made in open kettles to preserve the natural flavor and structure of the fruit.

Today, the brand is owned by Orkla, a leading Norwegian industrial conglomerate. While the brand remains deeply rooted in Danish food culture and maintains its headquarters and primary production within Denmark, it is part of a large international portfolio of consumer goods. Ownership has shifted over the decades from the founding family to larger corporate entities, but the manufacturing processes continue to emphasize the artisanal heritage that made the brand a household name in Scandinavia.
