Cooperativa Lletera del Cadí

Cooperativa Lletera del Cadí is a dairy cooperative whose stated purpose is to keep alive the territory of the Pyrenean comarques of Alt Urgell and Cerdanya, continuing an agricultural and livestock dairy tradition that has been the base of the territory's economic, social and environmental structure for more than 100 years. It describes itself as a cooperative model that has been giving life since 1915, and as the main economic activity of Alt Urgell and Cerdanya. It states it has 65 farmer members and that its founding premise is that 'the collective good is above the individual good'. Its products include Cadí cheeses and butter, which it describes as very dairy and creamy with optimal nutritional properties, as well as mató (a fresh cheese) including mató with honey. Cadí states it is part of the B Corp movement.

According to the cooperative, its legacy dates back to 1915, when a group of men and women led by founder Josep Zulueta i Gomis joined forces to find a dignified way of living in the mountain lands of the Pyrenees. They found the answer in milk production and its transformation into butter and cheeses, and the farmers organized themselves into a livestock cooperative. The cooperative states that this model allows farmer members to receive a fair price for their milk and workers to receive fair wages, and that its commitment is to keep this legacy alive.
