Esselunga Ricottine

Esselunga Ricottine is a fresh ricotta cheese product offered by Esselunga S.p.A., a leading Italian supermarket chain. The product is typically presented in a pack of two 100g cups, totalizing 200g. It is manufactured in Italy, often at facilities like those in Usmate Velate (MB) or by specialized partners like Caseificio Elda S.r.l. in Vestenanova (VR), specifically for the Esselunga brand. The milk used for production generally originates from EU countries.

Esselunga was founded in 1957 in Milan, initially as a partnership involving the Caprotti family and Nelson Rockefeller. It was the first company in Italy to introduce modern supermarket concepts and has since grown into a dominant force in Northern and Central Italy. Today, the brand remains firmly in Italian hands, owned by the Caprotti family through their holding company, Supermarkets Italiani S.p.A., and managed by Marina Caprotti.
