Lactalis brand targets convenience and value growth in chilled dairy through innovation.
Galbani, the UK’s leading mozzarella brand, is repositioning itself within the premium chilled cheese segment by moving beyond traditional formats. Through new product launches, the Lactalis-owned brand is aiming to expand consumption occasions and capture greater value in a competitive dairy category.
The strategy is built on a dual approach: premiumisation through format innovation and increased versatility for everyday use. With the introduction of Burrata Minis and Mozzarella Basil Infusion, Galbani is seeking to transform Italian cheese from a niche recipe ingredient into a more frequent, high-margin staple, particularly for summer dining and informal occasions.
Burrata Minis respond directly to changing consumer needs by offering portion-controlled servings that reduce food waste and improve accessibility. By shifting burrata from a centrepiece product to a flexible addition for salads and pasta, the brand aims to recruit new consumers and encourage trading up from standard mozzarella into higher-value segments.
Meanwhile, the Mozzarella Basil Infusion represents a move into flavour innovation, simplifying preparation for consumers by embedding a classic Caprese profile into the cheese itself. This product is designed to drive trial in convenience-driven settings such as barbecues and picnics, lowering preparation effort while enhancing perceived quality.
To support the rollout, Galbani is backing the launches with a £1.1 million marketing investment and a phased distribution across premium and major UK retailers. By leveraging its market-leading position, the brand is working to shift Italian cheese away from commoditisation and toward a more differentiated, convenience-led offering aligned with modern consumer lifestyles.
