Sapna Sarfare visited the Parag Milk Food’s Cheese Plant to understand cheese-making as a part of the Femina Go Cheese Tasting Event organised by Femina & Go Cheese. The details amazed all.
Once reaching their Manchar Plant, I was fascinated by the
fact that it was not one plant but three different plants for different uses. At
the short event presentation, Ajay Singh who happens to be Parag Milk Foods representative
gave us all a peek into how the company has travelled since 1992 to reach a
place where Go & Gowardhan products have become a market asset. He
revealed, “The word Go in our products comes from the Hindi word for cow and
also our name Gowardhan. We are a fully integrated dairy company and have
Asia’s largest cheese producing plant. Our first plant was in Manchar, while
the tetra pack factory came up in South India – at Palamner in Andhra Pradesh.”
The company believes in product innovations and has come up with brands like
Pride of Cow (Farm to Home Exclusive Milk) Gowardhan, Go, Top Up Flavoured Milk,
etc. Singh focuses on the point that their company is the only one with a
multi-brand approach for target consumer and happens to one of the only two
companies manufacturing their own cheese.

A small lunch later, it was time to visit the hi-tech cheese
plant where varied cheese varieties are made from scratch. Our guide, Madhuri,
got thumbs up for efficiently giving remarkable information regarding the process
that was staggering. The only thing, which might be putting off for some, would
be the overwhelming smell of milk. The cheeses made at the factory range from
Cheddar, Mozzarella, Colby, Processed, Paneer, Vintage Cheddar, Emmental and
Gouda in various forms for various preparations.
After an evening round of cheese tasting and games, we had
to head home with a heavy heart. The Go Cheese Femina Tasting Event made me
aware of all the hard work that goes into not just making cheese but also other
products. Parag Milk Foods definitely are making sure that good milk products
reach our homes. Time to pick my favourite cheese before it gets moved.
