The story behind kosher cheese is a world
of complex halacha you will not believe.
So you mentioned that cheese
requires a mashgiach always.
Certain cheese factories, there are many
like this, have a team of mashgichim
living there. Very often, there's a mashgiach
house or mashgiach apartment, even Yom Tov,
they have a Sukkah there, they bring a
shofar there for davening, everything.
So when you go to the store and you see
the kosher cheese is much more expensive,
there's a reason why it's much more expensive.
Yeah, the hashgacha involved,
you're paying for the full-time
hashgacha required to make kosher cheese.
So, everybody knows about
waiting after meat before milk,
but a lot of people don't realize that there
are halachos about eating meat after milk.
Yeah, sure. So, we'll get into that.
Can I ask you a personal question?
Please, go ahead. Are you sick of cheese?
No. Pizza is my favorite food, so
pizza I can't get tired of too much.
This job was right for you.
Yeah. Yeah, it was right for me.
