Granarolo Accadì Lactose-Free Milk

Granarolo Accadì is a prominent line of lactose-free dairy products produced by the Granarolo Group, one of Italy's most significant food companies. Founded in 1957 as the Bologna Consortium of Milk Producers, the brand has grown into a leading representative of the Italian dairy supply chain. The Accadì range specifically targets consumers with lactose intolerance by utilizing a process that breaks down lactose into more easily digestible sugars like glucose and galactose, as noted on the packaging.

Most Granarolo products are manufactured within Italy across their numerous production plants, which are strategically located to maintain a short supply chain between local farms and processing facilities. This ensures the freshness of the milk, which is sourced from over 400 affiliated Italian farmers. The company prides itself on an integrated production system where the entire process, from raw material to distribution, is closely monitored.

Ownership of the brand rests with Granarolo S.p.A., which is controlled by the Granlatte cooperative. Granlatte holds approximately 63% of the company, with other significant stakes held by institutional investors such as Intesa Sanpaolo and the National Strategic Fund (managed by Cassa Depositi e Prestiti). As of 2026, the company continues to expand its international footprint, particularly in markets like the United Kingdom and France, while remaining deeply rooted in its Italian heritage and cooperative structure.
