Kavli Räkost (Shrimp Cheese)

Kavli Räkost is a classic Scandinavian spreadable cheese made with real pieces of shrimp. This product is iconic in both Norway and Sweden, often found in tubes which preserve freshness and provide convenience for breakfast or snacks. The brand is well-regarded for its high content of Arctic shrimp and its long-standing tradition in the Nordic food market.

The Kavli brand originated in Norway, where Olav Kavli founded the company in 1893. Kavli is credited with inventing the world's first long-life spreadable cheese in 1924, a breakthrough that allowed the company to export its products globally. Today, manufacturing for the Swedish market typically takes place at Kavli's production facility in Älvsjö, Sweden.

Ownership of the brand is unique; it is owned by the Kavli Trust (Kavlifondet), a charitable foundation based in Norway. All profits from the sale of Kavli products that are not reinvested in the company are donated to humanitarian causes, research, and culture. Use of the barcode 7311440020897 specifically identifies the Swedish-market version of the shrimp cheese tube.
