Den Gamle Fabrik, which translates to 'The Old Factory', is a historic Danish brand that has been a staple of Danish breakfast tables for over 180 years. Founded in 1834 by J.L. Andersen, the brand built its reputation on traditional craftsmanship and high-quality fruit preserves. Unlike many modern mass-produced jams, Den Gamle Fabrik preserves are known for being cooked in open cauldrons to maintain the texture and flavor of the fruit.
While the brand maintains its deep Danish roots and production facilities in Denmark, its ownership has transitioned over time to larger corporate entities. Currently, the brand is owned by Orkla, a leading Norwegian industrial conglomerate. This acquisition has allowed the brand to expand its distribution across the Nordic region and international markets while maintaining the traditional recipes that established its fame.
