USA/CANADA – Canadian dairy co-operative Agropur has moved into the USA with the purchase of an Indiana cheese plant.

The Deutsch Kase Haus plant currently processes 60 million litres of milk each year and produces Colby, Colby Jack, Monterey Jack and Pepper Jack cheeses.

The plant is located in the heart of an Amish community, upon which it relies for milk supply and workforce.

Agropur is a co-operative owned by 4,700 dairy farmers and is based in Quebec, Canada. It is Canada’s largest Cheddar producer and owns the Natrel milk brand.
