"The vegetables have to be fresh, and we basically work with all kinds of vegetables," said Ulrich Troyer, one of the group's 10 or so members.

Dairy farmers, restaurant owners, say 'cheese' with new class of mozzarella

The Canadian PressMay 1, 2013 17:30

And that could result in cheaper fresh-made pizzas for consumers across the country. The new milk class, to take effect June 1, is expected to result in lower costs of Canadian-made mozzarella for restaurants that prepare and cook pizzas on site. The move could also slow or halt the erosion of domestic cheese sales to pizza restaurants.
