Itambé Zero Lactose Requeijão

Itambé is one of Brazil's most iconic dairy brands, founded in 1948 in the state of Minas Gerais. Originally established as a cooperative (CCPR - Cooperativa Central dos Produtores de Leite de Minas Gerais), it has grown into a national leader in the dairy sector. The product shown is a lactose-free version of 'requeijão', a traditional Brazilian creamy cheese spread.

In 2017, the brand underwent a significant ownership change when it was acquired by the French dairy giant Lactalis. Today, while the manufacturing remains focused in Brazil across several specialized plants to ensure freshness, the brand is part of the world's largest dairy products group. This global ownership has helped Itambé maintain its market leadership while benefiting from international distribution and research capabilities.
