Lurpak is a Danish brand of butter owned by Arla Foods. It is sold in over 75 countries worldwide,[1] and is known for its distinctive silver packaging.[2] Lurpak came into existence in October 1901 after a cooperative of several Danish dairy farmers decided to create and register a common brand and mark for butter to increase sales.[3] Its trumpetlike logo is based on the lur, an ancient brass instrument once used in Scandinavia.[4][5]
Lurpak's principal market is the United Kingdom.[6]
Lurpak butter is made from milk, but their spreadable range contains rapeseed oil.[7]

Advertising campaigns
In 1985, Lurpak launched a television campaign for the United Kingdom featuring Douglas, a trombonist made from butter, trying to play the famous classical composition Flight of the Bumblebee by Rimsky-Korsakov at the end of each advert spot (usually being stopped by the voiceover "Not now, Douglas!"), in tribute to Arthur Tolcher's appearances on the television show Morecambe and Wise. This was created by Aardman Animations, and featured the voice of Penelope Keith, with the intro to the Agnus Dei from Faure's Requiem as background music. This ran for almost twenty years, until Lurpak repositioned with the "Good Food Deserves Lurpak" campaign, created by Wieden+Kennedy, and featuring the voice of Rutger Hauer.[8][9]
