Quantities purchased and values of dairy products in 2019
If we compare the quantity of the different types of dairy products purchased, ultra-fresh products are the most sold products, followed by yoghurts and cheeses.

However when comparing by value, although the same products remain in the top 3, the order of the ranking differs
Cheese is the best-selling dairy product in 2019, followed by ultra-fresh products in 2nd place and yoghurts in 3rd place.

If we look at cheese sales in a little more detail, cheeses made from cow's milk dominate the ranking.
More than 700,000t of cow's milk cheeses were sold in 2019 for a total of 6,510,656 k€.

As a result, the average prices per product show that cheese, solid fats and dairy desserts are the most profitable dairy products to produce.
