World's Largest Cheddar Vats Installed at Kalona
Kalona's Twin County Dairy installs four large stainless steel cheddar vats to replace seven smaller ones, each vat holding 33,000 pounds of milk to yield about 5000 pounds of cheese. The new vats, built by Damrow Co and installed by Darlington Dairy Supply, reflect a long history from 1846 of Amish and Mennonite farmers launching the Kalona cheese plant and evolving into Twin County Dairy, Inc. The operation emphasizes aging Swiss and other cheeses with an 11 month aging process and ships cheese gift assortments nationwide.
