Lactantia Country Churned Butter

Lactantia is a prominent Canadian dairy brand known for its premium orientation, particularly within the butter and milk categories. Originally founded in 1947 by Lionel Beaudet in Victoriaville, Quebec, the brand revolutionized the industry as the first in Canada to introduce aluminum foil-wrapped butter, ensuring better preservation and flavor protection.

Today, Lactantia products are manufactured across several dairy processing facilities in Canada using 100% Canadian milk. The brand has evolved through various corporate ownerships, formerly being a flagship brand of Parmalat Canada.

Currently, the brand is owned by Lactalis, a global leader in the dairy industry based in France. Following the acquisition of Parmalat, Lactalis integrated the brand into its Canadian subsidiary, Lactalis Canada. The brand continues to maintain a strong market presence in North America, emphasizing traditional churning methods and high-quality cream sourcing.
