Galbani is Italy's leading cheese brand, carrying a legacy that dates back over a century. Founded in 1882 by Davide Galbani and his father Egidio, the company revolutionized the Italian dairy industry by introducing French-style cheeses and later perfecting traditional Italian staples like Bel Paese, Mozzarella, and Ricotta. The brand has become synonymous with authentic Italian culinary culture, distributed in over 140 countries worldwide.

While the brand's heart remains in Italy, where it operates several state-of-the-art production facilities, its manufacturing footprint has expanded following its acquisition by the Lactalis Group. Today, Galbani products are crafted using a combination of traditional Italian artisanal techniques and modern industrial standards. This ensures that whether the cheese is produced in Lombardy or specialized European facilities, it maintains the flavor profile that established its global reputation.

Since 2006, Galbani has been a cornerstone of the Lactalis Group, the world's largest dairy products corporation. Under this ownership, the brand has benefited from an massive global distribution network, solidifying its position as the number one brand of Italian cheese globally. The transition of ownership from Danone to Lactalis marked a significant chapter in the brand's history, focusing on international scale while preserving the 'Made in Italy' heritage that defines the Galbani name.
