About

Founded in 1982, Proláctea is a dairy industry manufacturer based in Castrogonzalo, Spain selling ingredients & cultures.

Proláctea is a Spanish manufacturer of powdered dairy products and liquid dairy derivatives, founded over 40 years ago with the aim of treating dairy by-products as productive, sustainable products. Historically, whey from cheese making was treated as waste; the company instead processes it into food and feed ingredients. Its range covers whey powders, milk powders, permeate and dairy preparations for the food industry, hospitality and animal feed, including ice cream bases, pastry cream preparations and custom blends developed to customer specifications. The company operates two production plants, in Castrogonzalo (Zamora) and Vilalba (Lugo), and is part of the Entrepinares dairy group, whose cheese-making whey it processes in full. Its production sites hold quality certifications, and it offers an innovation and development service for recipe design.
