Lurpak Butter

Lurpak is a renowned Danish butter brand introduced in October 1901 by a cooperative of Danish dairy farmers aiming to create a unified brand to boost butter sales. The brand's distinctive silver packaging and trumpet-like logo, inspired by the ancient Scandinavian brass instrument, the lur, have become iconic. Lurpak butter is crafted from fresh Danish cow's milk, with approximately 20 kilograms of milk used to produce one kilogram of butter. The butter is made using a traditional churning process, incorporating lactic cultures to develop its signature creamy taste and texture. Lurpak offers both salted and unsalted varieties, with the salted version containing a pinch of salt added during production. The brand is owned by Arla Foods, a Danish-Swedish multinational dairy company formed by the merger of Danish and Swedish dairy cooperatives. Arla Foods is headquartered in Denmark and is one of the largest dairy companies globally. Lurpak butter is sold in over 75 countries worldwide, with the United Kingdom being its principal market. The brand's commitment to quality and natural ingredients has made it a favorite among chefs and home bakers alike.
