Leprino Foods, based in Denver, Colorado, traces its origins to the early 1950s when founder Jim Leprino began making mozzarella for local markets in Denver's Little Italy. It has grown into a global dairy company and is the world's largest mozzarella producer, in addition to being a leading supplier of whey protein, lactose, micellar casein and other dairy ingredients. The business remains family-owned by the founder's descendants and operates with a substantial international footprint. Serving the food and beverage manufacturing sector, the company provides mozzarella at scale along with a range of dairy ingredients for other production needs. It is a prominent global player in the dairy industry, with operations and customers around the world. In 2026, reports indicate Leprino Foods sold its Brazilian operations to Catupiry.
