Each day several Cedar Grove tank trucks pick up milk from 30 nearby farms. They bring in an average of 120,000 pounds of milk each day, which by the next morning will have been converted to about 12,000 pounds of cheese. These microbial enzymes make the milk proteins gel. This step creates solids (curds) and a watery by-product (whey). Cow milk produces about one pound of cheese for 10 pounds - a

bit over a gallon- of milk. The curds are cut and pressed into blocks, removing more moisture. Finally, there is a bacteriological process known as "ripening"or "aging" at a particular temperature and humidity. After a closely monitored maturation period the cheese is ready for sale. What happens to the watery by-product? Here at Cedar Grove Cheese Inc. the whey is collected and stripped of residual milk-fat, to be turned into butter. Then the remaining whey is shipped to another plant and dried to make whey protein concentrate.

Everyone is asking how we faired in the World Cheese Championship last week. Well, it wasn't as good as last year at the US Championship, but then again this is international with 3375 cheeses entered. So we are okay (not satisfied) with a second (The Swan that we make for Artisan Cheese Exchange) and third (Montague) place medals. There were also several 4th and 5ths, but they don't get hardware. We are happy to be going to the award banquet yet again in April and look forward to honoring the Dutch cheesemakers who won the grand prize.

Bob's Christmas present. Heading into the new year with prospects for more milk capacity and conformity with modern standards in our 148 year old business. Come spring we will just have to figure out parking and landscaping to make it look as pretty as we feel.

California Dreaming. Picked up 6 more awards from American Cheese Society last night. Lots of educational sessions. And now a bit of downtime. What awards, you ask? First for Monterey Jack, First for Flavored Cheese Curds, First for Bratwurst Chees-E-Que, Second for Donatello, Second for Montague and Third for Juene Brebis. We are very proud of our cheese makers and the farmers who provide us with exceptional milk to make this possible. Congratulations also to Landmark Creamery for a sheep milk win.
