Tvedemose: pioneering sustainable mushroom cultivation

Tvedemose is a family-owned business rooted in South Zealand, Denmark. Since 1963, the Hansen family has cultivated a legacy of producing high-quality mushrooms while pioneering sustainable and innovative farming methods.
With over three generations of expertise, Tvedemose has grown from producing 30 tons of mushrooms annually to 2,000 tons today, including a wide variety of organic and specialty mushrooms.
Through our partnership, we upcycle mushroom side streams from Tvedemose’s operations, transforming them into premium, sustainable taste solutions for professional kitchens and food manufacturers. Together, we ensure that nothing goes to waste in the pursuit of exceptional flavour and sustainability.
