Galbani Paesano grated cheese

Galbani Paesano is a classic Italian grated cheese, often used as a convenient topping for pasta and other dishes. The brand was founded in 1882 by Egidio Galbani in the Valsassina region of Italy. It grew from a small local dairy into one of Italy's most iconic cheese brands, famous for introducing products like Bel Paese and Mozzarella to the international market.

Today, Galbani is part of the Lactalis Group, a French multinational dairy company that acquired the brand in 2006. While Galbani has production facilities in several countries including the USA, its traditional hard cheeses and core brand identity remain deeply rooted in Italy, where the majority of its European supply is manufactured. In Sweden, Galbani products are typically distributed by Lactalis Sverige AB, a local subsidiary of the parent company.
