Castle MacLellan Foods began over 29 years ago, selling pâtéfrom a small deli in Dumfries and Galloway. It became part of the Kavli group, a Scandinavian business, uniquely owned by the Kavli Trust, in 1997. The charitable organisation was set up by the Kavli family in the 1960’s to continue the good works of the founder, Olav Kavli. Profits from the group’s commercial activities are used to support good causes both in the UK and around the world – ranging from disaster relief and fair-trade projects, to dementia research and the support of education and cultural projects.
