Austrian dairy cooperative Berglandmilch is investing in expanding its quark and cream cheese production at its Aschbach site in Lower Austria. The investment will enable the facility to produce around 15,000 tonnes of quark (Topfen) and 7,000 tonnes of heat-treated cream cheese annually. Berglandmilch managing director Josef Braunshofer said: “We see that quark and cream cheese are strongly growing segments. The Aschbach investment forms part of Berglandmilch's broader approach to anticipating market trends while creating long-term value for its farmer owners. By expanding quark and cream cheese production and increasing packaging flexibility, the cooperative aims to create additional capacity for product innovation as demand evolves.
