This book outlines traditional methods of processing milk to produce cheese, butter, yoghurt and other milk products, and discusses how hygiene and quality control can be improved. It avoids introducing completely new products or processes, but suggests low-cost modifications to traditional methods which can be and have been introduced successfully.
