Gräddost

Gräddost
Partivare, ca. 1 kg
definitely not the same as the regular Gräddost in the small pakage, this 1 kg have way less fat and feels dry and crystal like, the ingredients list say its the same but its no way the same, just another way to scam the customers shame on Tine they just do not care anymore, only one thing to do and that is not to buy anything with a Tine label on it.

Go woke, go broke

I have made the mistake of buying Jarlsberg cheese wrongly believing that it was free of the chemical crap, Bovaer being force fed to livestock who have no say in the matter.

Shame on you Tine and it warms the cockles of my heart to see the extent of backlash to your woke, puppet company. May your finances suffer immeasurably as a result of your decision to poison both defenceless animals and the men, women and children who unwittingly consume this poison.

Never, ever again will I buy any product linked to Tine.

Bovaer

Tine feeds their partnering peasant's cows Bovaer. They can't ever fix this now, trust has evaporated forever. They can burn for all I care. Many thanks to all their smaller, great competitors for still delivering clean food (no, not you either, Q).

Bovar

You don't put Bovaer poison in the animal's food and dairy products without saying that it is Bovaer in it.
You tried a climate milk, nobody wanted it, and you still did this. Shame on you. I am switching to Røros products. This is not just about the milk, but the meat too. The response from tine was this, screw the customer

Their future milk failed

Their future milk failed. Instead of listening to their customers, they now want all milk to be the same as the one nobody wants. The chemicals they are using may harm the cows. Despicable

**TINE SA Overview**

**TINE SA Overview**: TINE SA is Norway's largest dairy product cooperative, owned by around 15,000 Norwegian farmers. Established in 1928 under different names before adopting the TINE brand in 1992, it has a significant presence in the Norwegian market, offering a comprehensive range of dairy products. Its revenue as of 2013 was approximately 20.4 billion NOK, with 5,600 employees. TINE is known for its internationally recognized products like Jarlsberg cheese, Snøfrisk goat cheese, and Ski-Queen (brunost).

**Global Operations**:

- **Norseland Ltd.**: This is TINE's division in Ireland and the United Kingdom. It distributes and markets TINE's cheeses, including Jarlsberg. Norseland Ltd. is wholly owned by TINE and plays a significant role in expanding the company's reach in the European market.

- **Norseland Inc.**: This subsidiary handles the distribution and marketing of TINE's cheeses in Canada and the United States, ensuring that products like Jarlsberg are available in North America.[]

- **Diplom-Is**: Although primarily a Norwegian ice cream producer, it's worth noting that TINE fully owns Diplom-Is, which is Scandinavia's largest ice-cream manufacturer. This could imply potential for international operations or exports, though specific global activities are not detailed.[]

- **Wernersson Ost**: TINE owns this company, which markets both domestic and international cheeses in Sweden, Denmark, and Finland, thus extending TINE's operations into the Nordic region beyond Norway.

- **Fjordland**: This company, in which TINE holds a 51% stake, produces ready-made foods and might contribute to TINE's broader food product offerings in international markets, although specific global operations are not explicitly outlined.

- **Sunniva**: A beverage company fully owned by TINE, producing juice and soft drinks in Norway, which might also have some international distribution, though this is not specified.

- **OsteCompagniet**: This division markets expensive cheeses in Norway but could potentially have or develop international distribution channels

These international operations help TINE leverage its product portfolio beyond Norway, focusing on dairy and expanding into related food products. This aligns with the strategy to grow its business beyond the Norwegian market, adapting to increasing competition and changing consumer trends.
