Royal Dansk Butter Cookies

Royal Dansk is a renowned Danish brand specializing in butter cookies, established in 1966 in Helsingør, Denmark. The brand is iconic for its royal blue round tin packaging, featuring the Hjemstavnsgaard farmhouse on the island of Funen. These butter cookies are celebrated for their rich, buttery flavor and are produced in Denmark. In 2019, Ferrero SpA, an Italian multinational confectionery company, acquired the Kelsen Group A/S, the parent company of Royal Dansk, for $300 million, making Ferrero the ultimate owner of the brand. Despite this acquisition, Royal Dansk continues to operate under its original brand name, maintaining its Danish heritage and production in Denmark.
