Hacendado Kefir

Hacendado is the private label brand of the Spanish supermarket giant Mercadona. This specific product is a fermented semi-skimmed milk infused with kefir grains and yeasts. According to the packaging labels, while the milk originates from Spain and France, the product is entirely transformed and manufactured in Spain to meet the quality standards of the Spanish market.

Hacendado was introduced by Mercadona in the late 20th century to provide high-quality grocery alternatives at affordable prices. The brand does not own its own factories but instead partners with 'totaler' providers. For this kefir product, the production is typically handled by specialized dairy partners such as Schreiber Foods or similar large-scale dairy processors located within Spain.
