Bjørn Holmsen
Bjørn Holmsen (born 1948) is a Norwegian entrepreneur in the nut business. His entrepreneur career started in 1989 with the company Nøttolf. The first factory was situated in an Oslo basement of 6 square metres. The production was split between nuts sent to kiosks and restaurants in bulk, and special nuts sold in small bag packages. The latter division was sold to the Orkla Group in 1995, in order to strengthen the snack brand KiMs. In addition to the sales fee of , Holmsen penned a royalty deal for future sales by the Nøttolf brand, but the sale declined somewhat. He was also denied the option of starting a competitor company within packaged nuts between 1995 and 2000. However, in the late 1990s he started a new company Den Lille Nøttefabrikken.

Nut (fruit)
A nut is a fruit consisting of a hard or tough nutshell protecting a kernel which is usually edible. In general usage and in a culinary sense, a wide variety of dry seeds are called nuts, but in a botanical context "nut" implies that the shell does not open to release the seed (indehiscent). Most seeds come from fruits that naturally free themselves from the shell, but this is not the case in nuts such as hazelnuts, chestnuts, and acorns, which have hard shell walls and originate from a compound ovary. The general and original usage of the term is less restrictive, and many nuts (in the culinary sense), such as almonds, pecans, pistachios, walnuts, and Brazil nuts, are not nuts in a botanical sense. Common usage of the term often refers to any hard-walled, edible kernel as a nut. Nuts are an energy-dense and nutrient-rich food source. Botanical definition A seed is the mature fertilised ovule of a plant; it consists of three parts, the embryo which will develop into a ne ...
