BOHEMILK, A.S.

What BOHEMILK, A.S. does

BOHEMILK, A.S. is a Czech dairy producer operating as the parent entity of a multi-facility dairy group headquartered in Opočno, Hradec Králové, with consolidated operations under the BOHEMILK OPOČNO brand. The group operates four production facilities located in Opočno, Jihlava (Moravia Lacto a.s.), Olešnice (Mlékárna Olešnice a.s.), and Dolní Přím (Mlékárny Niva Dolní Přím a.s.), with an additional subsidiary Deva Nutrition a.s. covering clinical nutrition. The portfolio spans fresh and farmer's milk, butter, yogurts (including Opočno glass-jar and BOOPi children's lines), quark, cream, condensed milk, and an extensive cheese range including Eidam, Herold (premium 6-12 month aged), Kaškaval, Mozzarella, Selský sýr s probiotiky, Pivní sýr, Excelent GOLD flavored cheeses, Sýr Panýr, and Vinařský sýr, alongside the DeLacto lactose-free sub-brand, NUTREGO clinical nutrition, and Česká zmrzlina ice cream.

Production relies on traditional cheesemaking methods including Italian technology for Kaškaval and Mozzarella, microbiological cultures for cheese ripening under rind, and Czech sýřská technology for Herold, with milk primarily sourced from the Vysočina and Orlické hory regions. The company has R&D collaboration with Výzkumný ústav mlékárenský s.r.o. (VÚM) and has received multiple EU co-financed capital investments for photovoltaic installations, storage modernization, cheese production lines, and functional dairy innovation across the 2014-2020 Rural Development Programme and National Recovery Plan.

The business operates a sales-led go-to-market across three primary channels: retail grocery chains for consumer dairy, dedicated B2B portal (eobj.bohemilk.cz) for authenticated wholesale buyers, and foodservice/gastro distribution for hospitality and industrial food processing customers, all within the Czech domestic market. BOHEMILK is privately held under the Interlacto group umbrella and operates as a Czech joint-stock company (akciová společnost) with no public listing.
