Our History
Dairy production at Vilvi Group began in 1934, in the heartland of Lithuanian dairy farming – the lush meadows of river Nemunas, where springtime floods give birth to the greenest grass in the whole region.
Cows grazing in these fertile Nemunas meadows produce highest-quality milk which is then transformed into the most miraculous flavours by our masterful craftspeople. The magical results of their trade have turned Lithuanians into true dairy connoisseurs always expecting nothing short of premium dairy experiences.
Our history of combining long-standing dairy-making traditions,
specialty know-how of the craft, and the latest technologies has led Vilvi Group
into what it is today – a unique dairy company.
Careful monitoring of market dynamics and trends, gathering of feedback and listening to the needs and wishes of our clients, and responding and following up on them has made Vilvi Group into a knowledgeable company.
