As of the end of September 2025, butter production amounted to more than 8.800 tons, which is almost 20% higher than last year.
The total annual volume of butter production in the region exceeds 10.000 tons, including 1,400 tons of the famous Vologodskoe buter, the technology of which was developed by our legendary countryman Nikolai Vereshchagin back in 1870.
Every region has its claim to fame, but there's none sweeter than Vologda's position as Russia's butter capital. Vologda is famous for its dairy products. Just mention butter and quality together and every Russian will invariably reply "Vologda butter." Vologda butter (Vologodskoe) is a traditional Russian product, with delicious taste and natural lightness.
The Vologda Region boasts a wide range of butter - dairy sweet-cream butter, traditional butter, salted and chocolate butter and Vologodskoe butter which is named after the historic northern Russian city where it is produced.
Vologodskoe butter is known around the world. In the 19th century, it was delivered to England by sea and was also imported into France.
Vologodskoe butter owes its fame to its strict control over production that has been carried out consistently during the entire century and a half of its history. Historically, dairy products produced in the Vologda Region have been famous for their taste and high-fat content. The very name Vologodskoe indicates the highest quality and freshness.
