We Are Owned By Kavli Trust

Being owned by Kavli Trust means every squeeze of Primula helps do something good. Our mission is simple – make great cheese and make life a little better for people and communities along the way.

Primula is cheese with a difference. Because we’re owned by Kavli Trust, we donate millions of pounds every year to projects that genuinely improve lives. As responsible as we are moreish, we back brilliant ideas that make a positive impact in our communities.

Our difference

How It Works

Primula is part of the Kavli Group, which is owned by the Kavli Trust. That means every bit of profit from your favourite squeezy cheese goes straight to good causes. Kavli Trust supports projects that boost children’s mental health, protect the planet and help people who need it most. Tasty cheese doing tasty things.
