A Danish Story

The Story of Kjeldsens started in 1933, when Marinus & Anna Kjeldsen started a small family bakery in Central Jutland in the very heart of Denmark, then named "Kjeldsen & Co."

Kjeldsens butter cookies are baked since 1933 in Denmark according to the traditional Danish classic recipe. Marinus Kjeldsen began selling his cookies to neighboring villages, where the wonderful buttery treats soon caught on and spread throughout the country and not only. Over the years the cookies were appreciated also outside Denmark and in the 60’s they were introduced in Asia, entering Hong Kong market first and then Chinese mainland market.
