Valio Voi butter

Valio Voi is a premium dairy product from Finland, specifically a traditional salted butter. The brand Valio has been synonymous with Finnish dairy excellence since its inception in 1905 when it was founded to export high-quality Finnish butter to international markets. The product shown is the 500g slab of 'Voi' (which is the Finnish word for butter), produced using fresh Finnish cream.

Valio is a unique corporate entity as it is a cooperative owned by regional dairy cooperatives across Finland, which in turn are owned by thousands of individual Finnish milk producers. This structure ensures that the profits and control of the company remain within the domestic agricultural community. Today, Valio is Finland's largest dairy company and one of the country's biggest exporters, known for its innovation in lactose-free products and sustainable dairy farming practices. The manufacturing occurs primarily in Finland, utilizing Finnish milk to maintain a short and transparent supply chain.
