About Kockens Lyckeby
Kockens Lyckeby is a Swedish food brand specialising in potato starch (potatismjöl), an essential ingredient in Scandinavian cooking and baking. The brand is part of the Lyckeby Stärkelsen group, which is owned by around 1,000 potato farmers in southern Sweden, ensuring authentic Swedish provenance and quality from farm to table. Based in Fjälkinge, near Kristianstad in southern Sweden, Kockens produces pure potato starch made from 100% Swedish potatoes. The product is naturally gluten-free, making it an ideal thickening agent for those with coeliac disease or gluten sensitivity. Kockens AB has been owned by the food company Culinar since 2008, while maintaining its traditional Swedish character. Kockens potato starch is essential for authentic Swedish recipes including Rulltårta (Swiss roll), cake bases, custard, meatballs, and berry compotes. It excels at thickening sauces, soups, and stews while adding a light, fluffy texture to baked goods. The starch can also replace wheat flour in pastries and breads, creating products with more body and distinctive flavour. At Grocefully, you can compare Kockens Lyckeby potato starch prices at UK supermarkets including Tesco, M&S, and Scandinavian specialists. For anyone exploring Nordic baking or seeking a versatile gluten-free thickener, Kockens offers authentic Swedish quality.
