Björnekulla jam and pickles

Discovery of Björnekulla

Björnekulla is a classic Swedish food brand founded in 1907 in Åstorp, Skåne. Known primarily for its high-quality jams, pickles, and traditional condiments, the brand has been a staple in Swedish households for over a century. The company’s heritage is rooted in utilizing local produce from the fertile lands of southern Sweden, ensuring a natural and authentic taste that follows traditional recipes.

Ownership and Production

While the brand started as a local cooperative, it has undergone several ownership changes over the years. Today, Björnekulla is owned by Foodmark, a major player in the Nordic food industry. Foodmark is in turn part of the Agronom Group (formerly Kavli Holding), which is unique because its profits go to the Kavli Trust, supporting humanitarian causes. Production remains centrally focused in Sweden, maintaining its identity as a locally-grown brand even while operating under a larger corporate umbrella.
