International dairy manufacturer, Glanbia Foods, plans to test the market for organic cheese for about a year.
According to magic-valley.com, CEO of Glandbia Foods said that the decision was made after tracking sales in the organic market. He told magic-valley.com, “…there will be about a 20 percent annual growth in the organic cheese market.”
The organic cheeses will be produced in the same facilities used for non-organic cheeses; the new products will be manufactured in the morning when the facility is clean and meets organic food standards, and the regular cheeses will be made throughout the rest of the day.
The company will produce eight to 10 pounds of organic cheeses such as colby monterrey jack and cheddar throughout the next 12 months; this will be about 10 percent of the company’s overall cheese output.
Smaller companies will buy the cheeses and sell them under their own label just as the rest of Glanbia foods.
