'''Kalles,''' previously known as '''Kalles Kaviar''' (known as '''Kallen Mätitahna''' in [[Finland]]), is a [[Sweden|Swedish]] brand of [[smörgåskaviar]].
It is manufactured by [[Abba Seafood]].<ref name=ne/> Kalles Kaviar is mainly made of salted cod roe (''[[Gadus morhua]]''), sugar,
The [[Tube (container)|tube]] label has maintained the same design from the beginning, and depicts the son of the then-CEO of the manufacturing company, Carl Ameln.<ref name = nyt/> The name Kalle<ref>{{Cite web |title=Hur mycket vet du egentligen om Kalles? - Kalles Kaviar |url=https://www.kalles.se/om-kalles/om-kalles/ |access-date=2022-09-09 |website=Kalles |language=sv}}</ref> was used because it was a popular name in the 1950s when it was first created.
The tube had to be made of aluminium rather than plastic because kaviar cannot stay fresh when in contact with air, and plastic tubes become filled with air when the contents have been squeezed out, whereas aluminium remains in the form it was pressed into.
In 2011, [[IKEA]] replaced Kalles Kaviar with its own brand of caviar. This led to backlash,<ref>{{Cite web |title=Kalles Kaviar |url=https://www.facebook.com/Kalleskaviar/posts/pfbid0M5jkUktku9hHRnDMtzgaAbihQn8JRSoufbVcWTqJX8ZtC222SGEsvHpG48SYk9bMl |access-date=2022-09-09 |website=www.facebook.com |language=en}}</ref> leading to IKEA returning the product to its shelves within a few years.<ref>{{Cite web |title=IKEA Food Click and Collect {{!}} IKEA Canada |url=https://ca.collect-food.ikea.com/product/80028571/KALLES_KAVIAR |access-date=2022-09-09 |website=ca.collect-food.ikea.com |language=en}}</ref>
Until 2011 it was carried by [[IKEA]] in stores around the world, but has recently been found as late as 2021 at IKEA. In the 21st century, the Swedish smörgåskaviar market has fractured, with each supermarket chain promoting its own brand.<ref>https://www.sydsvenskan.se/2004-06-01/kalles-kaviar-har-fatt-konkurrens {{Bare URL inline|date=December 2021}}</ref>▼

== Product name ==
Having "kaviar" ([[English language|English]]: "[[caviar]]") in the product name has been controversial because it can be confused with other caviar types, such as Russian caviar. Although the original product was called ''Kalles Kaviar'' in Sweden, it was changed to ''Kalles'' in the 21st century. In Finland the name is translated to ''Kallen Mätitahna'' which means ''Kalle's roe paste''.<ref name=":0">{{cite web|access-date=2022-03-25|archive-date=2020-10-24|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201024231853/https://nt.se/nyheter/kalles-kaviar-ar-norsk-och-snart-inte-kaviar-1534439.aspx|date=2006-12-02|first=Två hårdkoktaMats|language=sv|last=Laurin|title=Kalles kaviar är norsk och snart inte kaviar – Norrköpings Tidningar|url=https://nt.se/nyheter/kalles-kaviar-ar-norsk-och-snart-inte-kaviar-1534439.aspx|work=nt.se}}<!-- auto-translated by Module:CS1 translator --></ref>
