Kavli Holding AS. Bergen, the Norwegian food group founded in 1893 by Olav Kavli as a wholesale company in cheese products. Kavli exports began around 1910, when the company was first introduced on the Norwegian-American market in the U.S. with exports such as goat cheese. Just before the World War I began, Kavli began to produce more of the goods themselves, both canned and cheeses. In 1920, Kavli introduced Primula, a mild cheese with great durability (smelteost) . Today, the company sells produce in 30 countries from plants located in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, England and Scotland.Olav (eg. Ole) Knudsen Kavli (Store norske leksikon)The Kavli group
