Our Story
130 Years of Tradition
From a small family dairy to Sweden's premier artisan cheese maker
1890
The Founding
In the area around Boxholm, cheese has been made since time immemorial. In fact, northern Småland and southern Östergötland held an important place in cheese history long before Boxholm's dairy started production in 1890 – then as part of the centuries-old ironworks.
1952
The Innovation
The 130-year-old cheese tradition is not something the people of Boxholm take lightly. Boxholm cheese is not just food; it is part of our identity – as important now as it was then. Deeply rooted in the countryside and its people, the profound knowledge of the craft has been passed down from generation to generation.
1960s
Handcrafted Growth
From this expertise, Sweden’s first commercially produced cream cheese was born in 1952, which has since become one of Sweden’s most iconic cheeses, alongside Svecia, Herrgård, and Prästost.

The Modern Classic
This heritage lives on. A Boxholm cheese should be made the way it has always been made: with the right recipe, the right ingredients, and turned by hand by the master cheesemakers in Boxholm – all for the sake of great taste.

Natural & Organic Products
For everything we do – move, grow, exercise, work, play, or breathe – our bodies require sustenance. Milk is high in calcium and proteins, which assist to keep our muscles, bones, and teeth healthy. Vitamins B2 and B12, which promote our energy metabolism and nervous system, are found in milk. That's why we are producing natural and organic milk.
Featured Recipe
All kinds of items can be made with dairy-based ingredients. Milk is utilized in a variety of ways, including ready-to-drink beverages, savory soups and sauces, pastries and cakes, (frozen) desserts, and milk powder for coffee. These ingredients are in high demand by food manufacturers.
