The Munke Mølle (lit. Monks Mill) is the oldest still functioning company in Denmark founded in 1135 as a water mill on the Odense River in Odense city. The mill has been a purveyor (Danish: Kongelig Hofleverandør) to 38 kings and 2 queens, and today produces bread and cake mixes.

Munke Mølle is the longest running company in Denmark – it was founded by Benedictine monks in 1135. The mill for 90 years produced two of Denmark's most recognized brands "Gluten Flour" and "Amo", and has over the years provided flour for both private bakeries and the food industry.
