Kalles (traditionally marketed as Kalles Kaviar) is a Swedish sandwich spread made from smoked, sugar‑salted cod and pollock roe mixed with oil and other ingredients; it is classified as a smörgåskaviar and is commonly used on bread and eggs. (en.wikipedia.org)

The product traces back to a recipe acquired by Abba (Abba Seafood) in the early 1950s and was commercially launched in 1954; its distinctive tube design featuring a blond boy has remained an iconic element of the packaging. (en.wikipedia.org)

Abba Seafood historically manufactured Kalles, and the brand and its associated production became part of Orkla's portfolio when Orkla acquired Abba/Procordia assets (Abba was folded into Orkla’s Swedish food operations). Today Kalles sits under Orkla ASA’s branded‑foods group and is managed via Orkla Foods Sverige AB. (bostonglobe.com)

Production is primarily carried out in Sweden (Abba/Orkla’s Swedish facilities, historically including Kungshamn), and Kalles is widely recognized as a Swedish product that has been exported and sold internationally (IKEA food sections historically helped spread its international presence). (de.wikipedia.org)

In summary: Kalles is a Swedish‑origin creamed roe sandwich spread created/marketed by Abba Seafood (first sold commercially in 1954) and is currently owned by Orkla ASA via Orkla Foods Sverige AB, with primary manufacturing located in Sweden. (en.wikipedia.org)
