Covalact de Țară Smântână Ardelenească sour cream

Covalact de Țară is a deeply rooted Romanian dairy brand, specifically known for its traditional-style 'Smântână Ardelenească' (Transylvanian Sour Cream). The brand traces its origins back to the Sfântu Gheorghe dairy factory founded in 1969 in the Covasna region of Romania. Over several decades, it evolved from a regional producer into one of the country's most beloved national brands, emphasizing traditional recipes and local milk collection.

While the brand's heart remains in Romania, its ownership transitioned in 2017 when it was acquired by the French dairy giant Lactalis. Today, the product continues to be manufactured primarily within Romania, utilizing the local expertise of Covalact S.A. to maintain the authentic taste consumers expect, while benefiting from the global supply chain and quality standards of its parent company. The brand's identity is centered around the concept of 'too good, just like in the countryside,' bridging the gap between historical heritage and modern distribution.
