A factory in Sivas, Turkey, has been producing mozzarella cheese that rivals that of Italy and exports to 18 countries. The company, in operation since 1993, is the supplier of pizza cheese for many famous global brands. The secret to the quality of their products, according to the Deputy Chairman of the Board of Directors, is the use of high-quality raw material. The milk used must meet European standards regarding bacteria and somatic cells. The company's sales are predominantly abroad, with 95% of its sales being pizza cheese.
