Président Burger Cheddar & Emmental cheese slices

Président is one of the world's most recognized French cheese brands, originally founded in 1968 by André Besnier in the town of Laval. The brand was established to showcase the expertise of French dairy production, initially gaining fame for its Camembert. Over the decades, Président has expanded its portfolio globally to include a wide range of dairy products, including the processed cheese slices for burgers shown here, which combine Cheddar and Emmental flavors.

While the brand is quintessentially French in origin and heritage, its massive global footprint means that manufacturing occurs in numerous locations around the world to serve local markets, including France, Scotland (for specific cheddars), and other European facilities managed by its parent company. The brand is currently owned by Lactalis (formerly Groupe Besnier), a multi-generational family-owned company that has grown into the largest dairy products group in the world. Lactalis remains headquartered in Laval, France, maintaining the brand’s deep connection to its French roots even as it operates as a global food powerhouse.
