Mejeriet

Mejeriet (Danish, Swedish, and Norwegian) is a term that translates directly to "The Dairy" in English. It refers to a dairy factory or creamery, a facility where milk is processed and transformed into various dairy products. These products can include, but are not limited to, butter, cheese, yogurt, cream, and milk powder. A mejeri can range from a small, local operation focused on artisanal products to a large-scale industrial plant producing for national or international distribution. The term encompasses the entire process from receiving raw milk to packaging and distributing the finished goods. The quality control and hygiene standards at a mejeri are typically very high due to the perishable nature of dairy products and the importance of public health.
