Taffel Osterejer Cheddar is a popular savory snack brand highly recognized in Northern Europe, particularly in Denmark and the Baltic states. These 'cheese shrimps' (osterejer) are iconic corn-based puffs flavored with cheddar cheese, known for their light, airy texture and savory coating.

The Taffel brand has a rich history originating in Finland in 1969 as a localized potato chip brand under the company Ab Chips Oy Ltd. Over the decades, it expanded across the Nordic and Baltic regions, becoming a household name for varied snacks including crisps, nuts, and puffed corn products.

Today, the brand is owned by the Orkla Group, a leading Norwegian industrial conglomerate. While the brand has its roots in Finnish and Scandinavian markets, manufacturing occurs across various Orkla-owned facilities in Denmark, Latvia, and Lithuania to serve regional demand efficiently. Orkla continues to manage Taffel as a primary label under its Orkla Confectionery & Snacks division.
