Foodies can say “panza llena, corazón contento,” (“full belly, happy heart”), after V&V Supremo Foods, the nation’s oldest family-owned producers of authentic Mexican cheese, chorizo and cremas under the Chihuahua brand, announced Wednesday the acquisition of 39 acres in Jefferson for a new facility.
The land will be used for a “brand-new, world-class production facility that will support the company’s capacity to meet the growing demand for V&V Supremo Foods’ products and bring more of its award-winning flavors to families across America,” according to a statement.
Jefferson is located between Madison and Milwaukee, and was chosen for its central location and access to major transportation corridors.
The new facility will be designed with “state-of-the-art manufacturing technology and sustainable practices.”
No data was given, but V&V Supremo Foods expects to create new jobs and “spark an economic impact in the region,” once the new facility is open.
“This expansion reflects our confidence in the future and commitment to serving our consumers, retail, food service and industrial partners and strengthening our ties with the communities where we operate,” Gilberto Villaseñor II, chief visionary officer, said in a statement.
V&V Supremo Foods was founded in Chicago in 1964.
