Piątnica Śmietana 18%

Piątnica Śmietana is a premium sour cream produced by Okręgowa Spółdzielnia Mleczarska (OSM) Piątnica, one of Poland's most successful dairy cooperatives. This specific product, labeled 'do zupy' (for soups) with 18% fat content, is part of the HoReCa line specifically designed for high-volume use in kitchens and restaurants.

The brand's origin dates back to the establishment of the dairy cooperative in the village of Piątnica near Łomża, Poland. Unlike many major food brands that have been acquired by international conglomerates, Piątnica remains an independent, 100% Polish-owned cooperative. It is owned by thousands of local dairy farmers who supply the milk, ensuring a direct chain from farm to production. This cooperative model allows the brand to maintain high quality standards and support local agriculture, making it a staple in Polish households and professional kitchens.
