K-Classic Smålgarden Salted

K-Classic Smålgarden is a popular spreadable fat product that blends butter with rapeseed oil for a salted, easily spreadable texture. The brand 'K-Classic' is a private label belonging to the German retail giant Kaufland, which was founded in 1968. The product name 'Smålgarden' evokes a Scandinavian feel, which is common for high-quality dairy products in the European market.

The manufacturing typically takes place in Germany or surrounding European Union countries where Kaufland manages its supply chain for dairy products. Because it is a private label, Kaufland partners with various dairy processors to produce the item under their specific quality standards.

The ultimate owner of the brand is the Schwarz Group (Schwarz Gruppe), a massive multinational retail group headquartered in Neckarsulm, Germany. The Schwarz Group is best known for owning the Lidl and Kaufland chains, making it one of the largest retail companies in the world by revenue. Ownership is controlled through the Dieter Schwarz Foundation and affiliated holdings.
