Kalona Cheese Installs Giant Cheddaring Vats
Kalona Iowa plant Twin County Dairy introduces the world’s largest conventional cheddaring vats replacing seven with four larger units. Each vat holds 35 000 pounds of milk to yield 3 500 pounds of cheese, built by Damrow Co and installed by Darlington Dairy Supply. The operation underpins a 146 year heritage starting with Amish and Mennonite farmers forming Twin County Cooperative Dairy, now supplying nine Eastern Iowa counties with bulk milk and aging cheese for national distribution.
