Kavli squeeze cheese

Kavli is a renowned Scandinavian brand with a unique history and ownership structure. Founded in Norway in 1893, the company revolutionized the food industry by inventing the world's first long-life processed cheese in a tube in 1924. This innovation allowed for easy transport and consumption of cheese without immediate refrigeration, a major breakthrough at the time.

Today, Kavli operates manufacturing facilities across Scandinavia and the UK, producing a wide range of products including cheese spreads, dressings, and milk. A distinguishing feature of the brand is its ownership; it is owned by the Kavli Trust (Kavlifondet), a charitable foundation. This means that all profits not reinvested in the business are donated to humanitarian causes, research, and culture, making it a socially responsible enterprise with deep roots in Norwegian and Swedish food culture.
