What is Lattella and where does it come from?
Lattella is not a vegetable or spice, but a drink that is made from whey. Whey is the thin, slightly sweet liquid that remains when milk is turned into cheese. You can imagine it like this: when milk is transformed into cheese, the solid parts become firm like a block (the cheese) and the liquid remains – this liquid is called whey. Lattella is made from this whey by cleaning it, flavoring it and sometimes sweetening or thickening it a little. Lattella originally comes from dairy production in Europe, especially from regions with many dairy farmers.

Origin and “growing areas” – what grows where?
Lattella itself is not cultivated like fruit or grain. Instead it comes from the milk delivered by cows on farms. Therefore you can say that the “origin” of Lattella is connected to places where a lot of milk and cheese are produced. These are often rural areas with many meadows, for example alpine regions in countries like Austria, Germany or Switzerland. There cows graze on lush pastures, and from the cows' milk whey is produced and then in factories the drink Lattella is made from it.

- Fruity – whey with fruit flavor, for example lemon, peach or strawberry. It's like a fruity milk drink.
- Original – the classic variant: milky and slightly sweet, as Lattella is often known.
- Reduced sugar / Light – less sugar, similar in taste but with less sweetness.
- Lactose-free – for people who have problems with milk sugar (lactose). Here the milk sugar is removed or split so that the stomach tolerates it better.
- Different packaging – there is Lattella in small drinking bottles, larger bottles or cartons; some varieties are chilled in the refrigerated section, others are longer-lasting and sit on the shelf.

Simple example: Imagine a farmer milks his cows and from the milk cheese is made. The liquid that remains is whey. From this whey a factory makes Lattella, adds flavor and fills it into bottles. That's how the drink reaches the supermarket – done!
In summary: Lattella comes from whey that is produced during cheese making, not from plants, and is therefore not dependent on cultivated land. It is easiest to find in areas with many dairy farmers and comes in many fruity and special variants so that as many people as possible can enjoy it.
