Président Le Brie cheese

Président Le Brie is a soft-ripened cheese with a bloomy rind, famously produced by the Lactalis Group. The brand 'Président' was officially established in 1968 by Michel Besnier, the second-generation leader of the family company, though the company's roots in dairy production date back to his father, André Besnier, in 1933.

While Brie cheese historically originates from the Brie region near Paris, the Président branded Brie is primarily produced in modern facilities in France, specifically within the Vosges and Normandy regions. The label 'Produit en France' on the packaging confirms its manufacturing origin.

Today, the brand is owned by the French multinational dairy corporation Lactalis, which remains private and under the control of the Besnier family. Headquartered in Laval, France, Lactalis is one of the largest dairy products groups globally, managing a vast portfolio of international brands.
