Ornua Opens New Cheese Production Plant In Spain

Kerrygold parent Ornua has announced that it has opened a new cheese production facility in Ávila in Spain.

The company invested €30 million in the 35,000-tonne mozzarella and pizza cheese facility which will greatly enhance Ornua’s pizza cheese-making capacity.

It has been built on a former Ornua cheese manufacturing site that was destroyed by a devastating fire.

Presently, Ornua supplies enough cheese for over 100 million pizzas each year, including blends for both European and global pizza chains.

The global pizza market is believed to be worth in the region of $130 billion, the company highlighted.
