REMA 1000 organic chickpeas in brine

REMA 1000 Økologiske Kikærter (Organic Chickpeas) is a private-label product developed for the REMA 1000 supermarket chain. While the brand is originally Norwegian, these specific canned goods for the Danish market are typically produced in Italy, where there is a large infrastructure for organic legume processing.

The brand REMA 1000 was founded in 1979 in Trondheim, Norway, by Odd Reitan. Today, it is part of the Reitan Retail business area, which belongs to Reitangruppen (The Reitan Group). The group remains a family-owned conglomerate based in Norway, overseeing retail operations across Scandinavia and the Baltics. In Denmark, the brand is managed through a local subsidiary headquartered in Horsens.
