Danone Yogurt

Danone is one of the world's most recognizable brands in the dairy and nutrition sectors. Its history began in 1919 in Barcelona, when Isaac Carasso began producing yogurt with cultures from the Pasteur Institute to treat children suffering from intestinal disorders. He named the brand after his son Daniel, whose nickname was 'Danon'.

Today, the brand is a global leader, with production facilities distributed across every continent to ensure freshness in local markets. While it began as a family enterprise, it merged with BSN in 1973 to form the modern Danone Group. The company has evolved into a purpose-driven multinational, focusing on dairy, plant-based products, water, and specialized nutrition.

As of 2026, the brand remains under the ultimate ownership of Danone S.A., headquartered in Paris. The company is known for its commitment to social responsibility and was one of the first major multinationals to adopt the French 'Entreprise à Mission' model, focusing on health and environmental sustainability.
