05 Nov 2019 --- Ornua, Ireland’s largest exporter of Irish dairy products, has opened its new, €30 million (US$33 million), state-of-the-art cheese production facility located in Ávila, Spain. The new facility has been built on the former Ornua cheese manufacturing site, opening two years to the day since a fire destroyed that site. The facility can produce 35,000 tons of mozzarella and pizza cheese annually, and will eventually have its capacity increased to 70,000 tons. The reopening of the Ávila facility also marked the creation of Ornua Ingredients Europe, which brings Ornua’s Spanish and UK ingredients businesses together.
