The popularity of the product has started spreading to other countries as well. Since Ikea started selling Kalles caviar in all their warehouses around the world, it also became a good seller worldwide.
History of Kalles Caviar
In the 1850’s they ate a lot of salted cod roe in Sweden. One day someone mixed per accident mixed some oil with salted cod roe and from then on a new type of caviar was born. A local producer sold this recipe of delicious creamy consistency caviar spread to Abba Seafood. In 1954 the product was sold as Kalles Original in a tube. Nowadays the tube has a bright blue and yellow color that is an eye catcher from far away. But the first tubes that were produced didn’t have any design yet. After some creative thinking the idea was born to put a Swedish child with a common name on the tube. The product was eaten a lot by children and young people, so that should be a good sales boost. Together with the Swedish flag colors blue and yellow the product layout was made. The new layout worked immediately because the product became a big hit. They sold more than one million tubes the first year. At that time there were in total seven million people living in Sweden. Since 1955 there has not been many changes with the product. They tried out some varieties like lightly smoked, extra smoked, dill and cream cheese, but those products didn’t become a big hit as Kalles Original did. So they decided to stick with the bestseller and let the others go. Do you feel like Kalles? You can Shop Kalles Caviar online with NORDIC EXPAT SHOP.
