Arla Buko Pikante Kräuter cream cheese

Arla Buko is a well-known brand of cream cheese that originated in Denmark. The name 'Buko' itself is an abbreviation derived from 'BUttenberg & KOmpagni,' the company that first produced this cream cheese in the early 20th century.

Today, the brand is owned and operated by Arla Foods, a massive European dairy cooperative headquartered in Viby, Denmark. Arla Foods is owned by thousands of dairy farmers across several European countries, making it one of the largest dairy producers in the world.

Most Arla Buko products, including the popular 'Pikante Kräuter' flavor, are manufactured at Arla's specialized cream cheese dairies in Denmark, such as the Holstebro Creamery. The product is a staple in the German market, where it is distributed by the local subsidiary, Arla Foods Deutschland GmbH.
