AH Melk

AH Melk is the private-label dairy offering from Albert Heijn, the largest supermarket chain in the Netherlands. The brand has its roots in Zaandam, where Albert Heijn Sr. took over his father's grocery store in 1887. Today, it serves as a staple brand for millions of Dutch households, providing a wide range of fresh and long-life dairy products.

The milk is primarily sourced and produced within the Netherlands, partnering with local Dutch dairy farmers and processing facilities to ensure freshness and support the local agricultural sector. As a private-label brand, the production is often handled by various Dutch dairy cooperatives under contract for the retailer.

The brand is owned by Ahold Delhaize, a major global food retailer formed in 2016 through the merger of the Dutch Ahold and the Belgian Delhaize Group. While Ahold Delhaize is an international giant with significant operations in the United States and Europe, its primary headquarters remains in Zaandam, Netherlands, maintaining its strong historical connection to its country of origin.
