Lavacheese Logo

For the love of cheese

A few years back, two lifelong friends were enjoying a cold glass of beer, grilled cheese sandwiches and each others company, discussing the finer things in life. One of those being the irresistible taste of cheese grilled dangerously close to burning. They made it their mission to capture that taste in a pure and handy form for everyone to enjoy.

After months of trials and development the final product was ready to conquer the taste-buds at one of Iceland largest food exhibitions: A delicious brand of chips containing no carbohydrates, the perfect snack for low carb and keto diets. Investment from a local food processing company followed, allowing us to triple our sales in one year and leapfrog into a larger production facility and consumer market in Sweden.
