cheese factory

Curd production facility

A cheese factory is a facility where cheese is manufactured, typically on a commercial scale.

The term emphasizes industrial production rather than artisanal craft—a cheese factory processes large quantities of milk into standardized products, while smaller operations might be called creameries or fromageries.

The cheese factory employed half the town.
