Together, we think about the impact of our choices on the environment and the future

Zelene Doline is a brand that is always close to you. Our close relationship with Slovenian milk producers enables us to process natural Slovenian dairy products to an excellent standard. As employees of Mlekarna Celeia, we are the first and most demanding testers of new products. We are not just producers, we are responsible people who create for others what we would also create for ourselves. Because we are close and never far from what matters, we always consider the environment and the future in every innovation.

Our farmers and our shared interest:

BECAUSE WE ARE CLOSE.

The best of our nature

Mlekarna Celeia is Slovenia’s largest cooperative dairy. Everything we offer is made exclusively from Slovenian milk. On the farms in our valleys, cows are fed good feed that is certified free of genetically modified organisms. With the Zelene doline brand, we are bringing together the wisdom of the past with the expectations of current and future generations. Because we are simply close to the best of our nature.

Corporate social responsibility:

BECAUSE WE ARE CLOSE.

We operate responsibly, innovatively, and sustainably.

At Slovenia’s largest cooperative dairy, we proudly support various local projects, promising sports teams and individuals, as well as events that promote health and well-being. Because we want to keep our valleys green well into the future, we are focused on using renewable energy sources and reducing energy consumption. By establishing a circular flow of ingredients and foodstuffs and through careful processing, we prevent waste generation.

We operate responsibly, sustainably, and with respect for nature. Because we are close to the future.

Responsibility towards nature and ourselves:

BECAUSE WE ARE CLOSE.

By working together, we can reduce waste, including food waste.

In an environment where we respect age-old wisdom and traditional values, we also foster

innovation. We are establishing a circular flow of ingredients and food. We prevent waste through thoughtful processing. Because we swear by natural processes without unnecessary additives, we can also incorporate the by-products of our dairy production, such as whey, into new delicious treats. Our environmental responsibility includes the responsible selection of packaging. Zelene Doline yoghurts come in reusable cups with less plastic. Among them are those who were the first in Slovenia to receive easily removable and recyclable paper packaging.
