🧀 Mlekovita

Mlekovita is a Polish dairy cooperative (Spółdzielnia Mleczarska MLEKOVITA) based in Wysokie Mazowieckie, in Podlaskie. According to the cooperative, the plant there was founded in 1928 and made only cheese and butter. A regional dairy cooperative was formed in 1957, and the chairman gave it the name MLEKOVITA in 1992.

Other dairies later joined the group, among them Zakopane in 2003 and Baranów in 2009. By 2021 the group had 22 production plants.

The cheese ranges on its site include La Polle mould-ripened cheeses (Brie, Camembert, Polish Bleu); Rokpol Blue, a blue cheese made from pasteurised cow's milk which, the producer says, has been made by hand since 1956; and Diamenty Konesera, long-ripened cheeses such as Gouda Old, Cheddar Old, Mazdamer Old and Tylżycki Old, labelled as ripened for 3 months. The range also covers mozzarella, mascarpone, twaróg, processed cheese and Dutch- and Swiss-type cheeses.
