Président Carré Gourmet Cheese

Président is one of France's most iconic dairy brands, widely recognized for its high-quality brie, camembert, and butter products. The Carré Gourmet shown in the image is a soft-ripened cheese enriched with French crème fraîche, typically produced in the cheese-making regions of France to maintain its authentic flavor and texture profile.

The brand was launched in 1968 by André Besnier in Laval, France. It was originally created to offer a premium, reliable camembert to a growing mass market. Today, the brand is the crown jewel of the Lactalis Group, which has grown from a small family dairy into the largest dairy products group in the world. Ownership remains with the Besnier family through Lactalis, maintaining a focus on French dairy traditions while operating on a massive global scale.
