How the Cheese at Redhead Creamery Is Made
We want our cheese to taste as fresh as possible and foster our craft into an incredible product. Our farm-fresh milk comes directly from the milking parlor to the cheese plant via an underground tunnel and stainless steel pipeline. Collecting warm, fresh milk straight from our farm's cows helps save energy on cooling and goes directly to pasteurization so we can get to work on our delicious-tasting cheese.
Next, we add cultures to our cheese vats, or enzymes, that help contribute to the unique characteristics of each cheese. We also use liquid rennet that's added directly to the milk before hand-salting our cheeses to help enhance their quality and safety.
