Gäsene Kummin cheese

Gäsene Kummin is a traditional Swedish hard cheese flavored with cumin (caraway seeds), produced by Gäsene Mejeri. The brand is deeply rooted in West Sweden, specifically in Ljung, where it operates as one of Sweden's smallest dairy associations.

The product is manufactured at the Gäsene dairy in Ljung using milk exclusively from local farms in the surrounding area. This regional focus ensures a short supply chain and supports local agriculture.

Gäsene Mejeri is a farmer-owned cooperative (ekonomisk förening). This means the ultimate owners are the local dairy farmers themselves, rather than a large multinational corporation. The cooperative structure has been preserved since its founding in 1954, maintaining independence in the Swedish dairy market.
