A creamery is a facility where dairy products, particularly milk and cream, are processed and produced. It often specializes in making items like butter, cheese, and ice cream. Creameries can vary in size, from small artisanal operations to large industrial plants, and they play a crucial role in the dairy supply chain. In addition to production, many creamery establishments also offer tours and tastings, allowing visitors to learn about the dairy-making process. Some creamery businesses focus on using local ingredients and sustainable practices, contributing to the growing interest in farm-to-table food movements.
