Président sliced cheese

Président is a world-renowned French dairy brand originally founded in 1968 by the Besnier family in Laval, France. The brand revolutionized the market with the introduction of pasteurized camembert and has since expanded its portfolio to include butter, cream, and a variety of sliced and hard cheeses.

While the brand's heart and origin are firmly French, its global success led to manufacturing operations in several countries to serve local markets efficiently. This specific product package indicates the dairy ingredients originate from the EU and non-EU (specifically mentioning Scotland), highlighting that for the UK and certain European markets, production often takes place at Lactalis sites in Scotland. This allows the brand to maintain high standards while utilizing local milk supplies.

The brand is currently owned by the Lactalis Group, which remains a family-owned multinational and the largest dairy producer in the world. Headquartered in Laval, France, the company continues to manage the Président brand as its flagship international label, distributing to over 150 countries.
