The hromada of the village of Mykhaylivka of the Chernivtsi Oblast, with the European financial support, built a new cheese dairy, the opening of which was attended by Austrian Ambassador to Ukraine Hermine Poppeller.

The presentation of the event was held with the assistance of the Chernivtsi Local Government Development Centre.

"I am extremely satisfied with the result. I did not believe it was possible to do that a year ago, when I saw these premises, where a new cheese dairy has been opened. I am pleased that people united around the idea and brought it to the end," Hermine Poppeller said.

The cheese factory, called "Khoroshi Gasdy" (“Good Hosts”), was constructed on the site of an old bath. The project was implemented by the United Nations Development Programme at the expense of the Hlybotska AH and the Austrian Development Agency.

Viktor Babyn, chief technologist of the cheese dairy, said that they produce cheese in accordance with the Dutch, Austrian and Italian technologies.
