Felix Bostogurka

Bostongurka is a iconic Swedish condiment consisting of finely chopped pickled cucumbers, peppers, onions, and spices. It was originally created by the company AB Felix in 1951 in response to a need for a way to use up surplus cucumber ends during production.

Despite its American-sounding name (likely chosen for marketing flair), the product is deeply Swedish. It is primarily manufactured in Sweden, specifically in Eslöv, using Swedish-grown cucumbers. The brand Felix is one of the most recognized food brands in Scandinavia, historically associated with canned goods and condiments.

Today, the brand belongs to Orkla, a leading industrial conglomerate headquartered in Norway. Orkla acquired the brand through its Swedish subsidiary, maintaining the production heritage in Sweden while expanding its distribution across the Nordic region and beyond.
