Kavli Spread

Kavli is a renowned Scandinavian brand most famous for inventing the world's first long-life cheese spread in 1924. Founded by Olav Kavli in Bergen, Norway, the company revolutionized food preservation by creating a soft cheese that could be stored without refrigeration.

The brand is unique in the corporate world because it is owned by the Kavli Trust. This organizational structure ensures that all profits from the sale of Kavli products that are not reinvested in the company are instead donated to charitable causes, including research, culture, and humanitarian work. Today, the brand maintains a strong manufacturing presence across Northern Europe and the UK, continuing its legacy of innovative food products while operating as a socially responsible enterprise.
