Vintage wooden crate - condensed milk from Normandy 19" x 12½"

A fabulous wooden case from the 1950s, branded Paillaud. It was originally used for carrying and delivering sweetened condensed milk. There are two simple wooden handles at each end. Founded in 1878 by Auguste Paillaud, the Paillaud dairy company became renowned for its high-quality dairy offerings.

A significant milestone in the company's journey was the introduction of 'lait concentré sucré de Normandie,' a sweetened condensed milk that gained popularity for its creamy texture and rich flavor. This product exemplifies the excellence of Normandy's dairy industry, known for its lush pastures and superior milk quality.
