FUN FACTS:

• Cheese production started in America after English dairy farmers brought their farming and cheesemaking knowledge with them to New English colonies. 

• 1831- The first farmstead cheese factory was opened in Koshkonong, Wisconsin.

• 1913 With the invention of the refrigerator, cheese preservation became better and more utilized for homes
