Danish cheese and butter
In 1901 Danish dairy farmers created Lurpak as a shared quality mark for their butter, and a law of 1906 made it the official mark of all exported Danish butter. Danablu, a blue cheese developed early in the 20th century, is sold in North America as Danish Blue Cheese. It is one of four Danish cheeses protected by the EU, and may be made only in Denmark, from Danish milk, at approved dairies.
