How Do You Pronounce Obbekjaers, and Where Are the Products Made?

Updated

Obbekjaers is pronounced “Obb-a-cares”, according to the supplier’s own site, and the peppermint oil products are manufactured in Denmark. The site also acknowledges that the name is frequently mispronounced, with “Ob-er-jekkars” being the most common attempt. These two details come directly from obbekjaerspeppermint.co.uk, the UK-facing supplier page run by Bennett Natural Products in Wigan, Lancashire.

Pronouncing Obbekjaers

The supplier gives a simple phonetic guide:

Point Detail from the site
Suggested pronunciation “Obb-a-cares”
Common mispronunciation “Ob-er-jekkars”
Other attempts The site notes “many other attempts at pronunciation are made”

If you are asking for the product in a shop or describing it to someone, “Obb-a-cares” is the version the supplier itself uses. The spelling looks Danish rather than English, which explains why English speakers tend to break it into “Ob-er-jekkars” instead.

Where the Products Are Made

The site states that Obbekjaers products are manufactured in Denmark. That is the only manufacturing location given in the available page content, so it should not be assumed that any part of the range is made elsewhere.

The same page describes Obbekjaers as a brand leader in peppermint oil products and says the brand has been making and supplying peppermint oil supplements to the UK and worldwide for over 25 years.

Who Supplies Them in the UK

The website belongs to Bennett Natural Products, based in Wigan, Lancashire. The company describes itself as a worldwide supplier of the Obbekjaers range, including:

  • Obbekjaers peppermint oil
  • Obbekjaers peppermint oil supplements
  • Obbekjaers peppermint oil capsules
  • Obbekjaers peppermint oil in powder
  • Obbekjaers peppermint oil tablets

So the brand and manufacturing are Danish, while this particular website is a UK-based supplier operation.

One Practical Note for Buyers Outside the UK

The site carries a clear notice that, following Brexit, import duty may be charged on orders delivered outside the UK. It states that these charges are outside the supplier’s control and are the customer’s responsibility. If you are ordering from outside the UK, that is worth checking before you buy, independently of where the product was manufactured.
