About Svansø
High quality gives good taste
In 1975, Svansø was founded by the married couple Hanne and Peder Svansø, where they imported specialities from Italy with their sense of good taste and high quality. In this way, Svansø was a pioneer in the field, and they were at the forefront of spreading knowledge of southern cuisine in Denmark.
Today, we continue to build on our years of expertise in good taste and quality. It permeates everything we do - and you can taste it. At Svansø , we believe that high quality delivers great taste, and this is at the heart of all our products.
THE ORIGINAL SVANSØ SPIRIT
At Svansø , everything we do is based on the original Svansø spirit.

As the world changes and new standards are demanded, we have embarked on a new adventure. We want to be Denmark's leading provider of green food experiences. Because at the end of the day, we want green living to be a joy, and we also believe that choosing a green lifestyle should be both easy and tasty.

OUR HISTORY
1975
Svansø is founded by Hanne and Peder Svansø
Svansø was founded in 1975 by Hanne and Peder Svansø. At that time, pasta, sun-dried tomatoes and olive oil were largely unknown in Danish cuisine, and Peder Svansø saw an opening in the market. He therefore imported these specialities from Italy and sold them initially to restaurants and wholesalers. Peder Svansø was thus one of the pioneers who spread southern cuisine in Denmark throughout the 1980s.

Svansø takes over 3 factories during the 90s
Peder Svansø was an enterprising businessman who wanted to expand the business with more product categories. During the 1990s, he therefore took over three factories, which were able to produce, among other things, jam and dressing. However, it was important to Peder Svansø that only quality products could bear his name. Therefore, there was already a great focus on the interaction between quality raw materials and taste, which is also true today.
