Lactantia Milk and Butter

Lactantia is a prominent Canadian dairy brand that has become a household name, particularly known for its butter, milk, and cream products. Founded in 1947 by a visionary entrepreneur in Quebec, the brand revolutionized the industry by introducing the first parchment-wrapped butter in Canada, which helped preserve freshness and flavor. Over the decades, it has maintained a reputation for high-quality dairy sourced primarily from Canadian farms, emphasizing a 'farm-to-table' approach.

Today, Lactantia is no longer an independent company but is a flagship brand under the ownership of Lactalis Canada, a subsidiary of the global dairy giant Lactalis Group. While the brand remains deeply rooted in Canadian culture and continues to operate extensive manufacturing facilities across provinces like Ontario and Quebec, its ultimate ownership resides in France. This blend of local production and international backing allows Lactantia to maintain its premium status in the competitive North American dairy market.
