Lactalis Ukraine at the ProCheese Awards 2025

On September 27–28, the Mystetsky Arsenal turned into a center of cheese culture – it was here that the largest cheese art festival in Ukraine took place.

The event brought together Ukrainian and international producers, leading industry experts and over 4,000 guests.

The exclusive partners of the festival were Lactalis Ukraine and the Président brand, which presented a bright exhibition and a number of activities that aroused great interest among visitors.

At the Lactalis Ukraine and #ilovecheese themed stand, guests had the opportunity to:

• taste products from the Président, Leerdammer, Galbani and Shostka brands;
• learn more about cheesemaking traditions and quality standards;
• take a commemorative photo;
• take part in a culinary master class on making tartlets with the Président brand.

For the youngest guests, a children’s zone from the Loko Moko brand was organized – with various activities, a photo zone with Levchyk, and delicious yogurts, which gave children bright emotions and strengthened their connection with the brand.

Olena DZHAGARIAN, Marketing Director of Lactalis Ukraine:

“It is very important for us to be a partner of this festival to prove that the Ukrainian market is strategically important. Despite all the external challenges, we believe that cheese, as a product that brings positive emotions, experience, taste, unites.”

The goal of the festival is to develop the culture of cheese consumption in Ukraine, to shape its perception as a product with style and taste, and to strengthen the image of Ukraine in the global dairy ecosystem.
