Marque Repère mozzarella cheese

This product is a mozzarella cheese under the Marque Repère private label, specifically distributed by the French retail giant E.Leclerc. The barcode prefix (356) and the packaging text identify it as a store brand product tailored for the French market. While E.Leclerc is a French cooperative, their mozzarella is typically manufactured in Italy to ensure authentic production methods, as indicated by health marks often found on such dairy packaging. Marque Repère was created in 1997 to provide affordable, high-quality alternatives to national brands. The brand is managed by Scamark, the private label division of the E.Leclerc group, which oversees the development and distribution of thousands of food and non-food items across Europe.
