On Saturday, my family and I went to the Lola Cheese Factory. We left home early in the morning. It tookus one hour to get to the factory. When we arrivedthere, the factory truck was unloading milk. We werelucky. We could see how cheese was made from the beginning. We met the factory owner. He showed us how they made cheddar cheese. First of all, we went to the vat. The vat is a very large container where the workers (8) process the milk into curd. The curd looks like custard. After that, we went to the cheese molds. Here, workers placed the curd into the molds and press it. We ended our tour at the packaging machine. We really learned a lot at the cheese factory.
