Creamery

A creamery or cheese factory is a place where milk and cream are processed and where butter and cheese is produced.

Excess liquid as buttermilk is drained off in the process.

Traditional tools included the butter churn and Scotch hands.

The term "creamery" is sometimes used in retail trade as a place to buy milk products such as yogurt and ice cream.

Under the banner of a creamery one might find a store also stocking pies and cakes or even a coffeehouse with confectionery.
