Milbona Grana Padano

Milbona Grana Padano is a premium Italian hard cheese that is grated and packaged for convenience. As a Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) product, the manufacturing process is strictly regulated, ensuring it is produced exclusively in Italy within the designated regions of the Po River Valley. This specific item is a private label product developed for the retail sector.

The Milbona brand is an internal label belonging to the Schwarz Group, used primarily within Lidl supermarkets across Europe and internationally. While the brand itself is managed from Germany, the product inside is authentic Italian cheese sourced from certified producers in Italy who adhere to the traditional Grana Padano Consortium standards. This ensures high quality while maintaining the competitive pricing characteristic of retail house brands.

The ultimate ownership of the product lies with the Schwarz Group, a family-owned multinational retail group that also owns the Kaufland chain. Based in Neckarsulm, Baden-Württemberg, Germany, the Schwarz Group is one of the largest retailers in the world, managing a complex supply chain that involves outsourcing the production of its Milbona dairy line to various specialized dairy manufacturers across the European Union.
