Joseph Gallo Farms is using speed, eco-friendly practices and quality to compete with the giant cheesemakers and the small artisan operations on the West Coast.
To become more efficient, the mid-sized California dairy farmer and cheesemaker has made a series of capital improvements to cut time out of the cheesemaking process. Higher-speed cut-and-package machines with greater throughput have made the cheesemaker more efficient, while new testing equipment delivers results in seconds rather than minutes.
