A Connecticut cheesemaker with roots in the New Haven area dating back to the early 1950s has been purchased by an Italian food company.
In a statement, Bologna-based Granarolo S.p.A. announced it has acquired 100% of Calabro Cheese Corp. of East Haven.
Financial details of the transaction were not disclosed.
