Øllingegaard

What Øllingegaard does

Øllingegaard is an organic and biodynamic dairy company headquartered in Skævinge, North Zealand, Denmark, that produces and sells a broad portfolio of organic dairy products including fresh milk varieties (whole, low-fat, skimmed, Jersey, biodynamic), cheeses (cream cheese, mozzarella, rygeost, Græsrod), yoghurts, skyr, butter (including traditional churned), cream, crème fraîche, koldskål, buttermilk, ymer, tykmælk, and ice cream mix. The company operates under three sub-brands: Grøn Balance (Nordic Keyhole-marked health/wellness line with lactose-free options), Øllingegaard Biodynamisk (Demeter-certified biodynamic products), and the core Øllingegaard Mejeri brand. Sub-brands are organized around product attributes including lactose-free variants and biodynamic certification.

The company's business model is straightforward direct-to-consumer and retail distribution of physical goods. Øllingegaard sells principally through two Danish supermarket chains (Meny and Spar), a direct farm shop at its Skævinge headquarters, and a customer-login online ordering portal (shop.oellingegaard.dk). The company sources raw milk from four named farmer-suppliers — Brunskær, Damsmosegård, Kammergave, and Svanholm Gods — who are co-owners of the dairy through its parent cooperative.

Øllingegaard is part of Naturmælk A.M.B.A., a farmer-owned Danish cooperative (Andelsselskab med begrænset ansvar) formed in January 2017 when Øllingegaard merged with Naturmælk and consolidated operations under the joint brand 'De Økologiske Mejerier'. The parent entity is registered at Gerrebækvej 24, Broderup, Tinglev, Denmark. The company holds EU organic certification and Demeter biodynamic certification (valid through 2026), distinguishing it from standard organic producers. Geographic operations are confined to the domestic Danish market, with no indication of export activity. The company has received multiple third-party product validations, including Jyllands-Posten 'Test Vinder' (2020) and 'Bedst i Test' (2019) for organic koldskål and an honorary prize at the International Food Contest 2021 for organic tykmælk.
