Den Gamle Fabrik Björnbär marmalade

Den Gamle Fabrik (The Old Factory) is a premium Danish brand that traces its heritage back to 1834. Known for its traditional methods, the brand prepares fruit spreads in open kettles to preserve the natural taste and texture of the fruit. This specific blackberry (björnbär) marmalade is part of a long-standing culinary tradition that emphasizes high fruit content and artisanal quality.

While the brand originated in Copenhagen as a small artisanal producer, it eventually grew into a national icon in Denmark and a major export to Nordic neighbors like Sweden. Today, the brand is owned by the Norwegian conglomerate Orkla, specifically through its Orkla Foods Denmark division. Despite the corporate ownership, production remains centered in Denmark to maintain the authentic heritage and quality standards associated with the brand name.
