OJSC "Slutsk Cheese-Making Plant" preserves the best traditions and implements innovative projects, creating healthy products.

City of masters

it is one of the most ancient in Belarus, with its own unique history and culture. Both princes and skilled people glorified Slutsk throughout the world. Since the 18th century, almost half of the city's population were craftsmen who created their own workshops and associations: carpenters, weavers, millers, bakers, cheese makers and other producers of goods and services.

And today, the ancient and eternally young Slutsk is famous for its craftsmen, modern production and high-quality products, which are readily bought in Belarus and other countries. One of these enterprises is OJSC Slutsk Cheese-Making Plant, the country's largest producer of natural dairy products. The company structure includes 5 branches, 5 production sites and 3 agricultural branches.

More than 80% of the products produced by the plant are exported to RUSSIA, Kazakhstan , Azerbaijan , Tajikistan, Armenia, as well as CHINA and other foreign countries. The company’s trademarks – “Zdravushka”, “Tender Queen”, Complimilk, “Kletskaya Krynachka”, “Yas Belous”, “#Mozhno” - are recognized by customers and loved, first of all, due to their consistently high quality and special taste.

The company produces hard and semi-hard cheeses , soft, processed, smoked and unsmoked sausages, as well as dry dairy products, butter , whole MILK products, mayonnaise ,ice cream .

 Caring for the HEALTH of consumers, specialists of Slutsk Cheese-Making Plant OJSC strive to preserve all the benefits of dairy and fermented milk products, apply the most advanced technologies in their production and use the best raw materials. And they carry out innovative projects, creating healthy products. For example, in the future the company will implement an innovative project for the production of lactoferrin. It is one of the components of the body's immune system that stimulates the growth of beneficial bacteria. Lactoferrin is used in the production of baby and sports nutrition, dietary supplements, etc.

Special milk and dairy products

Buyers probably also paid attention to the line of lactose-free products that the company produces under the “#Mozhno” brand. It is designed with care for those who love milk, but are forced to give it up due to lactose intolerance. During the production process, a special enzyme is added to regular cow's milk and a lactose-free product is obtained that is easily absorbed by the body.

– The enzyme breaks down lactose, and if it remains in milk , it is in small quantities – 0.1 grams per liter. Lactose-free differs from regular lactose-free only in its slightly sweet taste and is ideal for those who like to drink coffee or tea with milk and want to reduce their SUGAR intake. In addition, the product is enriched with vitamin D: the body needs it all year round, and especially in the autumn-winter period, emphasize the company’s specialists.

In addition to milk, the lactose-free line also includes fermented milk products. This is kefir 3.2% fat, sour cream 20% fat,yogurt “Apple-banana” 1.5% fat. There is also natural yogurt without additives, which can be consumed as an independent product containing beneficial probiotics, or as a base for salad sauces and dressings. Well, those who have problems with the digestibility of milk sugar do not need to give up the usual classic sandwich for breakfast or a snack - at the Slutsk cheese-making plant, butter with 82.5% fat content is made from lactose-free milk.

Not long ago, another innovative product appeared in stores, produced by Slutsk cheese makers under the brand “#Mozhno” - A2 drinking milk. The Belarusian buyer is still taking a closer look at the new product. Not many people know what the mysterious abbreviation A2 means. This is natural cow's milk, which contains A2 beta-casein and no A1 beta-casein. Beta casein is a protein consisting of a chain of amino acids, which accounts for about 30% of all milk proteins. There are two main varieties of beta casein in cow's milk: A1 and A2. They differ in a single amino acid. In the amino acid chain of protein A1 there is histidine at position 67, and in protein A2 there is proline at this position.

Scientists believe that type A2 milk contains a more natural form of beta-casein for the human body. The same type of protein is found in human breast milk. Goat, sheep, and camel also always contain only one version of beta casein - A2.

A2 milk is obtained from specially selected cows. The production of special milk is a promising direction that is just beginning to develop in our country. Such milk is supplied to the Slutsk cheese-making plant by the Velichkovichi-Agro farm in the Soligorsk district. In terms of digestibility, it is close to goat milk. 100% natural A2 milk is not only easier to digest, but also has a natural taste, which many have become accustomed to since childhood. The company's specialists are confident that the new products will be in demand among customers. And in the future they plan to expand the product line of the “#Mozhno” brand.

Dairy products of another trademark of the Yas Belous enterprise do not need any special introduction. Milk, sour cream, cottage cheese, cheese, butter of excellent quality and taste have long been loved by customers. And, of course, cheeses: “Poshekhonsky”, “Slivochny”, “Hollandsky”, “Belarusian Gold”, “Russian Young”, Pesto, PestoRosso, Pestogold, “Old Amsterdam”, “Shlyakhtinsky”, “Bukovinsky”, “Parmesan” ", "Greutzer", "Formaggio" and others. You can try endlessly, choosing your taste. Slutsk cheese makers never tire of delighting their customers with new products. Which is not surprising. After all, it is known that “a long time ago in Slutsk, an order of cheese lovers was born, who called themselves BELOUS, and the love of cheese was always in the first place among the BELOUS!”

For modern Slutsk cheesemakers, the first priority is to preserve as much as possible all the benefits of milk, taking care of the health of those who choose their dairy products.

100% natural A2 milk is not only easier to digest, but also has a natural taste, which many have become accustomed to since childhood.
