creamery

Milk processing plant

A creamery is a facility where butter and cheese are made, or where milk and cream are processed and sold.

The term evokes traditional dairy farming: We buy our butter from a local creamery.

Some creameries have become artisanal producers or tourist attractions, while others operate as large-scale dairy processing plants.
