OLW Cheez Cruncherz Hot Chili

OLW (Old London Wasa) is a prominent Swedish brand specializing in savory snacks, particularly known for its iconic cheese-flavored crunches. The product featured is the Cheez Cruncherz Hot Chili, a spicy variation of their classic corn-based cheese snack.

Originally founded in 1967 as a joint venture between the Swedish company Wasabröd and the American company Borden Foods, OLW has become a household name in Scandinavia. The snacks are primarily manufactured in Filipstad, Sweden, where the brand maintains its main production facility to serve the Nordic market.

Today, the brand is owned by Orkla, a leading Norwegian industrial conglomerate. Orkla acquired OLW through its Finnish-Swedish snacks division, consolidating it under the Orkla Confectionery & Snacks business area. This ownership ensures that while the brand maintains its strong Swedish identity and local manufacturing presence, it benefits from the extensive distribution network of one of Northern Europe's largest consumer goods companies.
