Australian mozzarella to take a bigger slice of China's pizza boom

摘要

Mozzarella made at Fonterra's Stanhope cheese plant in Northern Victoria will soon be topping pizzas at restaurants in China, as Fonterra's Australian business moves to take a bigger slice of pizza's popularity in the Asian nation. The first mozzarella is rolling off the line as Fonterra's new cheese plant in Stanhope is being commissioned in readiness to start global production in the coming months, bringing Fonterra's mozzarella production back to Australia for the first time since 2013. Fonterra Australia's Managing Director, Rene Dedoncker says it's a significant step for our Australian business to resume making mozzarella for the domestic and export market, particularly China where there is strong demand for our cheese.
