Albalact Smântână 12%

Albalact is one of the most prominent dairy brands in Romania, with a history rooted in the Alba county region. The product shown is 'Smântână', a traditional fermented sour cream that is a staple in Romanian gastronomy.

Originally established as a state-owned enterprise in 1971, Albalact was privatized and grew to become the market leader in the Romanian dairy sector. In 2016, a major shift in ownership occurred when the French dairy giant Lactalis acquired the majority stake in the company.

While the brand maintains its local identity and production facilities within Romania—notably in Oiejdea, Alba county—it is now part of a global portfolio. Under Lactalis ownership, Albalact continues to process local milk to serve the Romanian market, blending traditional recipes with modern industrial standards.
