Buko

Buko is a dairy manufacturing facility in Vordingborg Municipality that produces processed and cream cheese products in multiple flavors including herbs, spices, and pepper. The facility makes both regular and light versions, with the lighter option containing roughly half the fat content of standard spreads.

Buko began producing processed cheese in Copenhagen in 1932. The company expanded its product range to include cream cheese varieties after World War II.

Buko cream cheese has long been a staple of Danish breakfast tables, served as a spread on dark rye bread and pastries that define morning meals. The product shaped everyday eating habits across generations in the country.

Tours and visits depend on facility availability and prior arrangement, so checking ahead is recommended before planning a visit. Keep in mind this is an active production plant with strict safety and hygiene protocols that visitors must follow.

The company started exporting to Germany from its very first year of operation, marking an unusually early move into international markets for a local dairy producer. This immediate international reach set the company apart in the Danish dairy industry from the beginning.
