FrieslandCampina

The Dutch dairy cooperative FrieslandCampina is globally renowned among both industry professionals and retail consumers. The brand is a gold standard, embodying the excellence and traditions of European dairy production. Although the alliance was officially formed in December 2008, its heritage dates back to 1871, when the first dairy cooperatives began to emerge in the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany. This unique collaborative model empowered farmers to establish a rigorous milk quality control system that eventually became the benchmark for the entire European dairy industry.

FrieslandCampina operates subsidiaries in 33 countries with a global team of 22,000 employees, distributing its products to over 100 markets worldwide. Among the thousands of private member farms and several major brands within this multinational structure, the Campina and Debic brands stand out for their heritage, specialized expertise, and uncompromising product quality.

All cooperative farms operate under their proprietary quality and sustainability program, Focus Planet, which ensures continuous monitoring of herd health and animal welfare. The program focuses on two key pillars: first, strict compliance with hygiene, quality, food safety, and animal welfare standards; and second, an initiative-based approach that encourages farmers to independently enhance and modernize their operations.

Under the Focus Planet initiative, more than a hundred animal welfare parameters are monitored across farms, with veterinary experts conducting regular health risk assessments. Cows are provided with optimal living conditions: ample space for movement, soft resting areas, constant access to clean water, and a balanced, nutrient-rich diet. Furthermore, farmers promote natural free-grazing (pasture-based farming where livestock roam virtually unrestricted). These practices are increasingly becoming the gold standard—not only for FrieslandCampina but for the entire traditional European dairy industry.

Standardized control of fat content, protein composition, and structure ensures uniform results with every batch. A cornerstone of Campina’s operations is its commitment to environmental standards—an expected level of excellence, as the brand works exclusively with raw milk from FrieslandCampina member farms, meeting the group’s most stringent requirements.

Butter and concentrated milk fats, specifically engineered for the pastry industry, hold a prestigious place in the Debic portfolio. Debic Croissant Butter is a professional-grade product specifically developed for puff pastry and laminated dough production. It is distinguished by superior plasticity and an elevated melting point (34-36⁰ C), which ensures effortless lamination while keeping the distinct layers intact. This results in a final product with a refined, rich buttery flavor. Just like all Debic products, the raw materials are sourced exclusively from FrieslandCampina’s own member farms.

Best Way Foods is proud to be the official distributor of FrieslandCampina in Ukraine. We provide the professional culinary community with access to premium European-grade dairy ingredients, ensuring a reliable and consistent supply chain tailored to the needs of modern production.
