Question
I was watching the Food Channel and they showed how cheese is made and after they made the cheese wheels they age and dry them in a warehouse and they coat the cheese wheels in lard (made from pig fat) and this is another problem with cheese made by goyim. (this is in the US in New Hampshire where sheep milk and Fresno, Ca. where cows milk were used to make different cheeses.
Answer
Thank you for the interesting information. This is another proof for the need to consume foods in general and particularly cheeses which are strictly supervised by a proper Hashgachah.
