Almette śmietankowy curd cheese

Almette is a widely recognized brand of fluffy cream cheese, famous for its distinct wooden-bucket-style packaging. The brand was originally created by the German dairy company Hochland, which launched Almette in Germany in the 1960s. Since then, it has become a staple in many European markets, particularly in Central and Eastern Europe.

In Poland, Almette products are manufactured locally by Hochland Polska Sp. z o.o. at their production facility in Kaźmierz. This local production ensures freshness by using regional milk supplies. The brand remains under the ultimate ownership of Hochland SE, a private family-owned company headquartered in Heimenkirch, Germany. Hochland is one of the largest private cheese producers in Europe, specializing in processed cheese, hard cheese, and cream cheese varieties.
