Père Michel French Soft Cheese

Père Michel is a brand of traditional French soft cheese marketed primarily in German-speaking regions. The product is manufactured in France, specifically in Dieue-sur-Meuse as indicated by the health mark (FR 55.154.001 CE), which corresponds to the Fromagerie de Dieue-sur-Meuse.

Ownership of the brand is tied to the Aldi group. While the packaging mentions F.H.H. Sarl as the producer, the brand Père Michel is a private label (house brand) specifically developed for Aldi (both Aldi Süd and Aldi Nord). Therefore, the ultimate ownership rests with the ALDI Group, a global discount supermarket chain headquartered in Germany. The product is distributed in Germany by Bonifaz Kohler GmbH, a subsidiary of the Hochland Group, which acts as the local partner for cheese logistics.
