Kostroma cheese dairy Volzhanka has expanded its own production through the purchase of a former factory building which has already started to be reconstructed. This was reported by the regional department of agro-industrial complex.
Now the producer produces several types of cheese, including mozzarella and ricotta, which are represented on the shelves of shops in Moscow and St. Petersburg, Yaroslavl and Kostroma regions.

A year ago the cheese factory got its own raw milk base. For this purpose the building of one enterprise was bought, where at that time 100 animals were kept. Today that number is almost five times higher, which allows producing 5 tons of milk daily. In the future, after the reconstruction is completed, it is expected to grow to 1.5 thousand animals.
