The company hopes to capitalise on Asia’s booming pizza market, and it has received export accreditation for the cheese, which will be marketed under the company’s Edwards Crossing brand.

 

The plant is located in the South Australian cheese-producing region of Jervois.

 

Beston Global Foods also owns a cheese facility in nearby Murray Bridge where it makes cheddar, gouda, colby, pepato and romano cheeses.
