Global diary company Fonterra has plans to upgrade the cheddaring tower, as its Wynyard, Tasmania cheese factory.
It lodged a development application to refurbish and remediate the tower, boosting its height to 21 metres, nearly doubling its width, and upgrading it to new standards.
This includes the installation of new stainless-steel platforms and improved ventilation.
During this process the entire tower, and its surrounding buildings, will be removed.
A cheddaring tower is used in the ‘cheddaring’ process for the cheese, where the curds are vacuumed to the top of the tower and then dropped down into a mass to help squeeze out excess whey and air, forming a dense block of cheese
In Australia, Fonterra’s brands include Western Star butter, Bega Cheese, Mainland Cheese, and Perfect Italiano.
