Frödinge Cheesecake (Ostkaka)

Frödinge is an iconic Swedish brand, most famous for its traditional Swedish cheesecake (Ostkaka) and frozen tarts. The brand was established in 1954 in the small village of Frödinge, Småland, where it began commercial production based on regional recipes. To this day, the primary production facility remains in Frödinge, maintaining a strong connection to its geographical heritage.

Ownership of the brand has transitioned through several major food conglomerates over the years. Originally a local dairy initiative, it was part of Arla for a long time. Today, Frödinge is owned by the Orkla Group, a leading Norwegian corporate group that acquired the business from Rieber & Søn. Through this ownership, Frödinge continues to be a staple in Nordic households, known for balancing traditional craftsmanship with industrial-scale distribution.
