About Ballerina
Ballerina is a Swedish sandwich-biscuit brand launched in 1957 by Göteborgs Kex (Gothenburg Biscuit Company), now part of the Cloetta group. The iconic ridged oat-and-wheat biscuit with chocolate-cream filling has been Sweden's best-selling cookie for decades and is a household reference in Nordic households.
Ballerina launched in 1957 as a sandwich biscuit by Göteborgs Kex, the Gothenburg Biscuit Company, and quickly became Sweden's bestselling cookie. The format is two embossed (ridged-pattern) oat-and-wheat biscuits enclosing a chocolate-cream filling, a balance of crisp grain-forward biscuit with a sweet cocoa interior that has defined the Swedish cookie aisle.
Göteborgs Kex is owned by the Cloetta confectionery group, which also owns Malaco, S-Märke, and several of the other brands stocked on this site. Ballerina remains the bakery brand's flagship product line, with seasonal variants and limited editions (caramel, mint, etc.) appearing around holidays.
For US wholesale buyers, Ballerina is the cookie most often requested by Swedish-diaspora retailers, IKEA-adjacent specialty importers, and Scandi-cafe accounts looking to round out a coffee-pairing assortment.
