Cheese Factory

Cheeeeese... I love cheeese.
Here we went to a cheese factory in verona and it was amazing. We tried four different types of cheese. A young one, middle aged one, a old one and an older one. I learned that depending on the color and texture, one can tell how old the cheese is. If it is a yellow color than its more that a few months old. White color is young and if the texture of the cheese is hard then that is very old. When we went into the stock area I noticed that some of the older ones had mold on it, which was totally average because they clean it any way. They have this machine that rotates the cheese as the scrap the mold off.
The most intersting thing amazed me was the way how they made the cheese process. It first starts with raw milk and is put in a huge pot and is stirred till a 1/4 of it turns to solid cheese. then its cut into pieces ( while its still in the pot) and placed into containers. The cheese maker told us that with the left over milk they feed it to their pigs ( which they make sausages out of)!
