Président Zero Lactose Mussarela cheese

Président is a historic French brand specialized in dairy products, invented in 1968 by André Besnier in Laval, France. While the brand carries a strong French heritage as the leading cheese brand in France, the specific product in the image is produced in Brazil to serve the local South American market. This is indicated by the Brazilian S.I.F. (Federal Inspection Service) seal on the packaging.

Today, Président is owned by the Lactalis Group, a French multinational dairy products corporation based in Laval. Lactalis became the owner following the evolution of the family business (Besnier Group) into the global leader it is today. In Brazil, the brand is managed by Lactalis do Brasil, which operates several manufacturing plants across the country to produce cheeses like Mussarela and Prato under the Président brand name using local Brazilian milk.
