The term CHEESE FACTORY is a combination of two words, DAIRY and FACTORY. A cheese FACTORY is a place where cheese is made from milk. It is usually a large facility that processes milk into various types of cheese, such as cheddar, mozzarella, and Swiss. The process involves separating the milk into curds and whey, adding cultures and enzymes, pressing the curds, and aging the cheese. Cheese factories are often found in rural areas, where there is access to fresh milk from cows or goats.
