Discover where a brand or product originates
Arla Färsk Mjölk is a staple dairy product produced by Arla Foods, one of the world's largest dairy cooperatives. The brand's history is rooted in the late 19th century, with the first Swedish cooperative, Arla Mejeriförening, established in 1881. The modern Arla Foods was formed in 2000 through a landmark merger between the Swedish cooperative Arla and the Danish MD Foods, making it a unique cross-border entity.
The milk shown in the image is typically sourced and processed within Sweden for the local market, supporting Swedish dairy farmers who are also the owners of the cooperative. Arla operates multiple dairies across Sweden, ensuring that the fresh milk reaches consumers quickly and with a low carbon footprint. As a cooperative, the profits are reinvested into the farms and the company's sustainable operations.
Ownership of the brand remains in the hands of thousands of dairy farmers across Europe, primarily in Sweden, Denmark, Germany, the UK, Belgium, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands. This farmer-owned model ensures that the production standards and quality are maintained by those directly involved in the farming process. The company is headquartered in Viby, Denmark, and continues to be a global leader in both organic and conventional dairy products.
