Melkan half volle koffiemelk

Melkan is a well-known Dutch private label brand specializing in dairy products. It was originally created to provide a unified 'house brand' for various independent supermarket chains in the Netherlands. The brand is managed and owned by Superunie, a massive purchasing cooperative that represents a significant portion of the Dutch retail market.

Manufacturing of Melkan products typically occurs within the Netherlands, utilizing local Dutch dairy farmers and processing plants. Because Superunie is a cooperative of multiple retailers (such as Plus, Dirk, and DekaMarkt), the product is a staple in many Dutch households, positioned as a high-quality yet affordable alternative to major international dairy brands. Ownership remains firmly in Dutch hands through the Superunie cooperative structure.
