About Grande
Grande is the spreadable processed cheese brand of OLMA, the Olomouc dairy owned by AGROFERT. It belongs to a category that matters more in Czech shopping than in most of western Europe, where spreads of this kind are eaten at breakfast and on bread rather than as a cooking ingredient, and it sits in an OLMA portfolio otherwise weighted towards fresh milk, yogurt, butter and cream.
