Arla Food Company - European Websites

After my last post, I cruised the Arla foods website a little more. Apparently, this company provides foods for many countries in Europe as well as North America. Although I think old fashioned books, paper, and pens are the best tools for language learning, websites can also be a good source of information for language learners.

If you are learning any of the following languages, please click on the following Arla Food links:

DANISH
FINNISH

GERMAN
DUTCH
RUSSIAN
SPANISH
SWEDISH

I do not know if Arla foods sell in France. If they do not have a website in the French language that indicates that they do not have a market big enough for France, Switzerland and Belgium. Maybe I will send them an e-mail to find out why.

Röd eller Grön Mjölk ?

In Sweden, when you go to the store to buy milk you do not ask for low-fat, skim, whole, or two percent milk. You ask for red or green milk. Apparently, everyone will understand you.

Red milk ( Röd Mjölk )is milk with 3 percent fat.
Green milk ( Grön Mjölk ) has 1.5 percent fat.

Maybe you can ask for light milk, ( Lättmjölk ) which indicates less than normal milk fat.

For the most part, when they talk about what kind of milk they drink or what kind of milk they have with their cereal in the morning, the Swedes will say they take röd eller grön mjölk.

One of the largest food providers from all of Europe is Arla. Check out their Swedish food website here! ARLA SVIERGE They have an additional page called Arla Köket ( Arla kitchen).
