For over 130 years, Boxholm has been home to a proud cheese-making tradition rooted in the rolling hills of Östergötland and Småland, where heritage and craftsmanship go hand in hand. Today, Glada Bonden Mejeri carries this legacy forward, with Swedish farmers dedicated to producing high-quality, sustainable cheese using pure milk and time-honoured recipes. From the birthplace of Sweden’s first cream cheese in 1952 to today’s artisanal offerings, Boxholm cheese remains a symbol of authenticity, taste, and enduring legacy.
