When we were kids, we didn`t know what cheese was? All I know is that it is a kind of foreign goods that the elders call a kind of foreign goods. All I know is that it is Jerry`s most greedy love in the cartoon Cat and Mouse. All I know is that it is a triangular cake with a small hole. It was not until we grew up and finally had a chance to taste it that it turned out that it was so strong, not the fragrant and lingering cupcake we thought.

This kind of milk gold, which was rare on the Chinese dinner table, is now popular in the streets of the city. Instead of wearing a mysterious veil, it conquered foodie, which is called Cheese Control, with its rich milk flavor and sweet taste. It is no longer unique, only used in traditional Italian pizza and western desserts, but in "cheese tea", "cheese chicken chop", "cheese ice cream", "cheese hot pot" and other new online celebrity snacks have been given more attractive charm, with the label of "creative".

It is not difficult to find that most of the famous cheese is made in Europe and America countries. If the "king of cheese" is called "Beiran cheese" made in France, the most popular "Cheda cheese" is made in Britain, and the "Masuri cheese", often used in pizza, is made in Italy. Perhaps more carefully, you will also find that the geographical location of these countries is basically concentrated in the latitude of 40 °50 °, which is often referred to in the dairy industry as the "golden latitude of milk sources."

Due to the influence of temperate climate characteristics, both the northern hemisphere and the southern hemisphere, most of the areas in this area are humid and foggy all the year round, which provides the best growth conditions for pastoral grasslands. Almost the highest quality milk sources in the world are basically dense in this area, so the natural quality of cheese fermented with such high quality milk raw materials is also the best in the world. In particular, compared with the large and high output of dairy products in the northern hemisphere, the output in the southern hemisphere will be relatively small, but because of the sufficient sunshine and precipitation, coupled with a warm and clean climate, the quality is also absolutely high quality.

So, when we came to Australia this time, we stopped by to see if the law of nature really existed. Unexpectedly, (Warrnambool), 180 kilometers from Melbourne, did let us find a local cheese workshop. It is located at the end of Ocean Road, 15 kilometers east of Vanampur, Allansford Cheese World (Allen Ford Cheese World).

Cheese producer is one of Australia`s largest cheese manufacturers and exporters today, "Vanamble Cheese and Yellow Oil Plant" (The Warrnambool Cheese & Butter Factory). Their products have always been a hot seller in Australia and have won many awards. In 1888, farmers in the Yalensford area decided to set up the first butter factory in the country on November 14, 1888, after a seminar to make better use of the butter produced on their own farms. At that time, eight joint venture farmers became directors. By the following year, all the suppliers had become shareholders in the factory. The surge in the tide has left the factory with turnover of 12000 pounds in its first year.

At the same time, because of the influence of British colonial culture, cheese making was first introduced into the Allen Ford area at that time, becoming a dairy product in addition to a kind of butter. People went to the factory door to buy butter and cheese directly, gradually becoming the most common and indispensable part of life. Over the years, the factory has been using the most proud Vanamble cheese making tradition to this day, and the development scale is getting bigger and bigger, and then it has become a major contributor to the local economic.

When you walk into a museum, the first impression is that it is more like a handmade workshop. From childhood to a cream knife, a gear, as big as a cheese press, a butter mixer, a carriage, a car, an infamous variety of tools in novels. Each tool or object is marked with instructions to introduce its functions, and some are accompanied by pictures and videos about the production of the factory in that year, so that tourists can have a better understanding and understanding of cheese production. With no experience in making milk at all, we were surprised that it took so much work to make cheese.

The most impressive part of it is the Ruston Hornsby engine. It is huge and faces the entrance to the museum. A hundred years ago, locals used this oil-pressure engine to drive generators and embarked on the road of mechanized production. Other engines at the scene were co-financed by the Vanampur Historical Automobile Club and collected by a man named Dave and his son Doug.

In addition, the exhibition hall also has a collection of local residents in the early 20th century daily necessities, such as books, children`s toys, telephone, typewriter and so on. Let people more intuitively understand the local life style, cultural temperament, as well as the development process of dairy farmers` living standards.

Of course, these are not the most important, the most important thing is to try it for free! Visitors can taste all kinds of cheese in the Cheese World store. Because of different maturity of cheese, there are different taste and flavor. For example, 6 × 8 months of mature cheese, milk flavor will be more fresh, sweet. Cheese with longer maturity will taste dry and salty. If you have tasted it and compared it, you can choose the right cheese according to your preferences.
