Where we come from shapes everything we create. For TINE®, origin isn’t just a geographical fact - it’s a philosophy, a promise, and a source of pride. Our story begins in the rugged landscapes of Norway, where nature itself sets the standard for purity, resilience, and quality. This is not only foundational to our brand identity - it’s a living part of every product we make.
Nature as Our Partner
Norway’s cool climate, clean air, and pure water aren’t just beautiful - they’re powerful. These natural conditions create the perfect environment for dairy farming. The cold climate reduces the presence of pests and diseases, while the clean air and pristine water contribute to the health of our animals and the purity of our milk. Our pastures are nutrient-rich, and our farming practices are designed to work in harmony with the land along the seasons. This synergy between nature and agriculture results in milk being naturally rich in taste and nutrients.
At TINE®, we don’t just use nature - we respect it. Our farmers are stewards of the land, committed to sustainable practices that preserve the environment for future generations. This respect for nature is embedded in our cooperative values and reflected in every step of our production process.
Responsible Farming, Honest Food
We believe that good food starts with respect - for nature, for animals, and for the people who enjoy what we produce. That’s why our farming practices prioritize animal welfare, traceability, and transparency. Every cow is cared for with attention and compassion, and every liter of milk is tracked from farm to table. This ensures not only safety and quality but also trust.
Our commitment to responsible farming is more than a policy - it’s a culture. It’s about doing things the right way, even when it’s harder or more time-consuming. It’s about making choices that reflect our values and our belief that food should be honest, clean, and nourishing.
A Taste of the North
When you choose TINE®, you’re choosing food that reflects the honesty and purity of its origin. Each product carries the essence of Norway - clean, honest, and unspoiled. It’s not just about flavor - it’s about a sensory experience that connects you to the land, the people, and the traditions that define us.
From our iconic Brunost to our everyday dairy staples, every bite offers a genuine taste of Norway’s landscape and values. It’s a taste shaped by glaciers and fjords, by long winters and bright summers, by generations of farmers who know the land, their herds and love what they do.
Why It Matters
In a world of mass production and global supply chains, origin matters more than ever. It’s a marker of authenticity, a safeguard of quality, and a story worth telling. Our Norwegian origin is not just our foundation. It’s what makes TINE® stand out in a crowded marketplace.
Our origin reminds us - and our consumers - that food is more than fuel. It’s culture, it’s connection, and it’s care. And when that food comes from a place as pure and powerful as Norway, it carries with it a promise of integrity and excellence.
