We’ve grown a bit since then. Today, Leprino is the world’s largest manufacturer of mozzarella and a leading producer of whey protein, lactose, micellar casein and other high-quality dairy ingredients. Still owned by founder Jim Leprino’s family, we are committed to sustainably feeding and nourishing families around the world.
