Entermont Alliance was set up following the merger of the milk products activities of Europe’s leading hard cheese maker Entremont Fromager and Brittany-based cooperative Unicopa.
The group has just signed a 10-year contract with German company Hochland for the supply of cheddar to be used in its production of pizzas and flammekueches.
A further EUR2.4m is being invested in a workshop for the demineralisation of sweet cheese whey, the company revealed.
