Many years of tradition and modern technology. For over 90 years, the Ryki Dairy Cooperative has been combining many generations of cheesemaking masters, the unique recipes they have developed, and innovativeness. This means that Ryki is now considered one of Poland’s best producers of ripened cheeses, and our products are distinguished by their unforgettable flavour and top quality.

What makes us different?

No preservatives

Our cheeses do not contain preservatives, and this fact is shown o the packaging in the form of a clearly legible “stamp.”

A supply of calcium is especially important in the diets of children — due to their growth — and women, as it helps prevent osteoporosis.

100% milk

Our cheeses are produced exclusively from cows’ milk.

The highest quality milk

Our cheeses are produced from milk originating in the most ecologically clean terrains of the Lublin region.

Smoked

We smoke selected types of cheese at low temperatures on alder and birch wood.

A series for the active

Our cheeses support physical fitness, naturally and in accordance with the latest dietary knowledge.
