Piątnica Cottage Cheese (Serek Wiejski)

Piątnica is a prestigious Polish dairy brand, widely recognized as the market leader in the cottage cheese category within Poland. The brand's history is rooted in the OSM Piątnica cooperative, which was established in its modern form in the early 1990s in the village of Piątnica near Łomża. The cooperative model ensures that the brand remains locally owned by the farmers who supply the milk, maintaining a strong connection to traditional Polish agriculture.

Manufacturing takes place exclusively in Poland at high-tech processing plants located in Piątnica and Ostrołęka. These facilities process fresh milk from local agricultural regions, ensuring high quality and freshness for their signature 'Serek Wiejski'. Because the brand is owned by a dairy cooperative, it is not subject to international corporate acquisition, making it a truly independent Polish entity.

Ownership of the brand remains within the Okręgowa Spółdzielnia Mleczarska (OSM) Piątnica. This cooperative structure means that the brand is collectively owned by over 2,000 Polish dairy farmers. This stable ownership model has allowed Piątnica to focus on premium positioning and innovation within the cream and fresh cheese sectors, consistently ranking as one of the most trusted food brands in the country.
