Artisanal Cheese vs. Industrial Cheese

There are so many cheeses on the market. Some are mass-produced “industrial” cheese, while others are considered rare and “artisanal”, but how are they different?

 Artisanal Cheese:
- Delicate procedure
- Produced in small quantities by hand
- Has ageing potential and more complex flavours that change over time
- Usually made with unpasteurised milk (the milk was heated at 37°C to 40°C for 12 to 16 seconds)
- Shorter shelf life 

Industrial Cheese: 
- More readily available
- More consistent in flavour and appearance
- Made with pasteurised milk (the milk was heated at 65°C to 72°C for 12 to 20 seconds)
- Longer shelf life
