Pilos Śmietana 18%

Pilos is a well-known private label brand primarily available at Lidl supermarkets across Europe. This specific product is 'Śmietana 18%', a sour cream commonly used in Polish cuisine for soups, sauces, and salads. The packaging features the 'Produkt Polski' (Polish Product) mark, indicating that the raw materials and production take place within Poland.

As a private label, Pilos products are manufactured by various third-party dairy processors depending on the region. The brand is owned by the Schwarz Group, a multinational retail giant. While the product itself is rooted in local Polish manufacturing to ensure freshness and support regional agriculture, the ultimate corporate ownership lies in Germany, where the Schwarz Group is headquartered.
