“The history of Verkhnedvinsk butter and cheese factory is a long and not simple way from united butter factories to one of the most advanced productions in its industry. In 1932 in the town of Drissa (as Verkhnedvinsk was called until December 1962), at the confluence of the Drissa river and the river Western Dvina, the Drissa Butter and Cheese Factory was established. It was located in the center of the town on Sovetskaya street and occupied only one building. The main specialization of the plant was cheese production. In addition to the main workshop, there was also a separator department in the village of Bigosovo, a butter department in the village of Borkovichi and a department in the village of Volyntsi, which produced butter and cheese.”
