Auchan Mascarpone

Auchan Mascarpone is a traditional Italian soft cheese product marketed under the private label of the French retail giant Auchan. As indicated on the packaging, this specific product is manufactured in Italy specifically for the brand, utilizing milk sourced from within the European Union.

Auchan is one of the world's largest retail groups, founded in Roubaix, France, in 1961 by Gérard Mulliez. Today, the brand remains under the control of the Association Familiale Mulliez (AFM), a holding company owned by the Mulliez family. While the brand is famously French in its corporate identity and origin, it leverages specialized dairy facilities in Italy to produce its mascarpone to ensure authentic production methods and quality standards for the Mediterranean specialty cheese.
