Pilos Maślanka Naturalna

Pilos Maślanka Naturalna is a traditional Polish buttermilk produced under the Pilos brand, which is a private label exclusively owned and distributed by the German retail giant Lidl. This specific product is marked as a 'Produkt Polski' (Polish Product), indicating it is manufactured in Poland using local milk supplies to cater to the domestic market. Manufacturing is typically handled by large Polish dairy cooperatives such as OSM Łowicz or Mlekovita under contract for Lidl.

The Pilos brand was created by Lidl to provide high-quality dairy alternatives across its European network. While the brand is a German creation, the production is localized in various countries. The ultimate owner of the brand is the Schwarz Group, a multinational retail group based in Germany that is among the largest retailers in the world, also owning the Kaufland supermarket chain. The group maintains a decentralized production model where local dairy farms and processing plants in Poland fulfill the supply for Polish stores.
