Tripped over this website for Vella Cheese Company, Inc. (http://www.vellacheese.com/pages/index.html) based in Sonoma California USA when looking for info on Toma cheeses.
They have a nice two webpage set of pictures (http://www.vellacheese.com/pages/tour.html) of their small factory making Dry Jack Cheese that I thought others might enjoy.
Very interesing ideas. Bet that's more like the way they started making cheese.
Try searching for Toma formaggio or Piedmont formaggio and use the babelfish translator all the good sites are in Italian. ;D
Here's a good site for Italian cheeses and other products.
