Galbani Certosa cheese

Galbani Certosa is a prominent brand of crescenza, a traditional Italian soft-ripened cheese. The brand was founded in 1882 by Egidio Galbani in Ballabio, Italy. It has grown to become one of Italy's most recognized dairy brands, known particularly for its fresh, creamy textures. The manufacturing is deeply rooted in Italy, specifically utilizing milk from the Lombardy and Piedmont regions to maintain its protected traditional characteristics.

In 2006, the brand was acquired by the French dairy giant Lactalis. Today, Galbani operates as a key part of the Lactalis Group, which is the largest dairy products group in the world. Despite its French ownership, the brand maintains its headquarters and primary production facilities in Italy, preserving its heritage as an authentic Italian dairy producer.
