a cheesy tour

our next stop was to visit stacey's mom
and spend a little time exploring with her

one of the highlights for me was the continental breakfast
with the make your own waffle bar


but it was quickly replaced with the cheese factory tour



i may have grown up in wisconsin
but i can honestly say i don't think i've ever been to a cheese factory
or been on a tour

it was very interesting

we watched as they separated the curds and the whey




saw them remove the formed cheese


and prepare it for the brine


where 'the magic happens'
before being placed in a cooler


we learned a lot of interesting facts


38,000 pounds of cheese A DAY
just at this factory!

that's crazy!

we ended our tour with some soda that is made at a brewery in town


and of course ...
some cheese curds
