Re: Milk consumption?
I thought that there were issues making cheese because of a shortage of milk for quite a while of the last few years. I expect this is all down to the lunacy of the contracts the big dairies have and who they will sell to.
Given that hard cheese generally lasts pretty well and reduces the volume, then why not make some cheese.
How these big dairy companies and supermarkets work is just a total mystery. The only common thing is that the producer at the very start or the chain is usually totally stuffed whatever.
