Arla Buko Der Sahnige

Arla Buko is a well-known brand of cream cheese that holds a significant place in the European dairy market. Originally, the Buko brand was established in Denmark in 1932 by the company Buko-Mejeri, known for its focus on quality cream cheese spreads. The brand's name itself is an abbreviation of 'BUttik-KO', which reflects its dairy roots.

Over the decades, the brand gained popularity across Europe, particularly in Germany where it became a breakfast staple. In 1999, Buko was integrated into Arla Foods following the merger of dairy cooperatives. Today, Arla Buko is manufactured primarily at the Holstebro cream cheese dairy in Denmark, one of the largest and most advanced facilities of its kind, though some production support and distribution are handled through German regional hubs to supply the DACH region.

As of 2026, the brand remains under the ownership of Arla Foods, a global dairy cooperative owned by thousands of farmers across several Northern European countries. This structure ensures that the brand maintains its reputation for using natural ingredients without artificial additives, a key selling point in the modern cream cheese category.
