Management

Jens-Einar Lindbjerg Jensen grew up around cheese and butter in a small dairy. Jens-Einar underwent basic training in Danish dairies with practical instruction in cheese and butter production which he concluded with the Danish Dairy Certificate. After finishing school, he spent time in the United States studying at farm dairies in California. He then trained as a dairy technician.

In September 1999, Jens-Einar and his son Thomas Lindbjerg travelled Europe to enter into import agreements for the very best cheeses. This was the start of GRAND fromage which opened in Aarhus in December 1999.

Thomas Lindbjerg is a trained chef and has worked at the two-star Michelin restaurant Relais de la Poste in France. He has also trained as a dairy engineer. During his training, he spent time in France, where he produced Comté cheeses, and in Sweden, where he produced blue cheeses. Thomas joined GRAND fromage as a partner in 2004.

The Lindbjerg family started a dairy business back in 1883 when Thomas Lindbjerg’s great-great-grandfather purchased and ran a dairy. Dairy production has been part of all generations of the Lindbjerg family ever since.
