Cheese vats.

Each of the eight stainless steel cheese vats holds approximately 53,500 pounds of fresh milk. On average, each vat makes three batches of cheese per day. It takes 10 pounds (1.16 gallons) of milk to make 1 pound of Tillamook cheese. More than 1.7 million pounds of milk arrive at the plant every day. Approximately 167,000 pounds of cheese are made each day.

40-pound blocks of delicious Tillamook cheese arrive at the packaging room after aging in the warehouse and being graded for quality. Blocks are cut into individual pieces on one of three different packaging lines and then they are packaged into convenient sizes. Each piece runs over a scale called checkweigher. Off-weight pieces are directed to the side. Underweight pieces are patched; overweight pieces are trimmed.
