Cheesemaking may be returning to a town of Harmony processing plant closed for a year and a half. An Italian-based investment group has purchased the former Castelli America facility following its closure in December 2019.

The newly formed company, Vittoria Dairy Inc., said in U.S. Bankruptcy Court documents it plans to eventually process cheese at the 5152 Fairbanks Road plant after its $1.4 million bid for the facility and its equipment was approved in a court-supervised auction in September.
