Stabburet Makrell i Tomat

Stabburet Makrell i Tomat is an iconic Norwegian food product that has become a staple of the Scandinavian diet since its introduction. Known for its distinctive yellow tin and high Omega-3 content, the product consists of Atlantic mackerel fillets in a rich tomato sauce. It is most commonly consumed as a spread on slices of bread or crispbread.

While the brand is deeply rooted in Norwegian culture and was founded in Fredrikstad, the manufacturing process underwent a significant change in recent years. In 2023, the production of Stabburet Makrell i Tomat was moved from its long-standing factory in Fredrikstad, Norway, to Orkla's specialized facility in Lysekil, Sweden, to consolidate production and leverage modern infrastructure.

The brand is currently owned by Orkla ASA, a major industrial conglomerate based in Oslo. Orkla has transformed from a diversified holding company into a leading consumer goods company in the Nordics, Baltics, and Central Europe, ensuring that despite the move in manufacturing, the brand remains under Nordic ownership and maintains its traditional recipe standards.
