REMA 1000 Flødehavarti cheese

REMA 1000 Flødehavarti is a private-label dairy product sold by the multinational discount supermarket chain REMA 1000. This specific cheese is a Havarti, a traditional Danish semi-hard cow's milk cheese known for its creamy texture and mild flavor. The product carries the 'Beskyttet Geografisk Betegnelse' (PGI) seal, which ensures that the Havarti is produced in Denmark according to specific traditional methods and standards.

The brand REMA 1000 originated in Norway in 1979, founded by Odd Reitan under the Reitan Group (Reitangruppen). While the brand has Norwegian roots, this product is manufactured in Denmark using Danish milk, as indicated by the 'Dansk Mælk' logo. This reflects the brand's strategy of sourcing fresh dairy products locally within its operating markets.

Today, the brand is part of Reitan Retail, a major retail company headquartered in Oslo, Norway. Reitan Retail remains under the ultimate ownership of the Reitan family. In Denmark, REMA 1000 operates as a significant subsidiary, managing its own supply chain and private-label production through partnerships with local Danish dairies to ensure quality and freshness for the Danish market.
