Kavli Spreadable Cheese

Kavli is a renowned brand specializing in spreadable cheese and other food products. It was founded in 1893 by Olav Kavli in Bergen, Norway. The brand is famous for inventing the world's first shelf-stable spreadable cheese in a tube in 1924, a revolution in food packaging at the time.

Today, Kavli operates major manufacturing facilities across the Nordic region, including Eidsvoll in Norway and Älvsjö in Sweden, as well as sites in the United Kingdom and Finland. The brand balances traditional recipes with modern food production techniques to serve an international market.

A unique aspect of the brand is its ultimate ownership. Since 1962, the Kavli Group has been owned by the Kavli Trust (Kavlifondet), a charitable foundation. All profits from the commercial operations that are not used for business development are donated to humanitarian causes, research, and cultural projects, making it a rare example of a company entirely dedicated to social good.
