Kalles kaviar is a Swedish brand of fish roe spread. It is manufactured by Abba Seafood. Kalles kaviar is based on a several hundred years old recipe which originates from the Swedish west coast and in particular Lysekil. In French, this type of caviar is sometimes referred to as Caviar de Lysekil. Other manufacturers of similar caviar are Öhnbergs Kaviar (often regarded as the connaisseur's alternative, and nowadays also owned by Abba Seafood) and Boviks Kaviar. It differs from the more common sturgeon or salmon caviar in that it is made from cod roe and a variable mix of other ingredients. These can include mashed potatoes, tomato sauce, onion, salt and often dill or chives. It's usually sold in smoked and non-smoked variants as well as in variants with a prominent taste of dill, for instance Öhnbergs Dill-kaviar. Kalles Kaviar has been a commercial success in its domestic country Sweden ever since its market launch in 1954. The tube has maintained the same design from the beginning, and depicts the son of then CEO of the manufacturing company. The tube design is easily recognisable, and has become a symbol of 50's nostalgia in Sweden.[citation needed]
