Podlaskie - Europe’s ‘Dairy Valley’
Podlaskie Voivodeship’s untainted natural environment is one of its greatest assets. Clean forests, rivers, lakes and meadows are a great setting for the development of the green economy and agri-food sector.
Dairy from Podlaskie is a synonym of excellent quality, and the creameries that produce it are among the most modern in Europe. Podlaskie is Europe’s ‘Dairy Valley’. The region boasts the highest milk production and processing levels in Poland.
Podlaskie is home to European milk processing giants, such as Mlekovita (the largest dairy group in Central and Eastern Europe), Mlekpol (one of the largest dairy producers in Europe), and Piątnica (recognised by the London Stock Exchange as one of the most inspiring European companies). These companies have huge production capacities and use the latest and most environmentally friendly technologies. Their products, which are renowned for their superior quality and natural taste, are sold all over the world.
Podlaskie. Fuelled by nature
The highest number of cattle per 100 ha of farmland in Poland not only enables the rapid development of the dairy industry in Podlaskie but also contributes to the development of beef production facilities.
Podlaskie is also known for its top-quality honey and superb pastry and confectionery products that are often inspired by Podlaskie’s natural features. For example, there
is “the anthill”, a very soft and sweet pastry that resembles an “ant nest”,smothered in honey and sprinkled with raisins and poppy seeds. Another product typical of the region is “sękacz”, whose dough is baked to resemble icicles reminiscent of tree knots. These unique products are available from confectionery companies and bakeries, such as Andraka and Janza, throughout the region.
There are many brands and products in the region, which base on its
natural features and resources. In Podlaskie, there are over 2,500
certified organic farms. Besides its milk, the region is widely
recognised for natural cosmetics, honey, herbs, as well as cheeses and
cold meats.
