The cheese industry like so many, was a traditional one that had fallen victim to over processing and mechanization. Can you believe that over 90% of all cheese in the 60's was 'processed'? In fact, at one time we had counted over 60 varieties of 'processed cheese'. Back then cheese was pretty dull and bland tasting. No one ever thought about concepts like 'cheese and wine' or 'cheese plates', or locally produced farmstead cheeses.
