Lyrics

Verse 1
Out in Nampa, where the dairies run wide,
Lactalis is craftin’ that cheese with pride.
Milk rolls in from the Treasure Valley’s green,
Local cows, 95%, the freshest we’ve seen.
In big ol’ silos, that milk’s ready to roll,
Pasteurized clean, keepin’ safety the goal.
161 degrees, fifteen seconds flat,
Idaho’s finest, yeah, we’re cookin’ like that.
Chorus
Makin’ cheese in Idaho, where the big skies gleam,
Mozzarella, mascarpone, livin’ the dairy dream.
From the curd to the wheel, it’s a country song,
Lactalis in Nampa, where the cheese rolls strong.
Verse 2
Add them cultures, let the milk start to sing,
Lactic acid brewin’, that’s the heart of the thing.
Rennet drops in, turns the milk to a curd,
Like a cowboy roundin’ cattle, it’s the call we’ve heard.
Cut ‘em up, heat ‘em slow, whey’s slippin’ away,
For mozzarella, we stretch it in that pasta filata way.
Mascarpone’s soft, like a cloud in a jar,
Creamy and smooth, it’s a country star.
Chorus
Makin’ cheese in Idaho, where the big skies gleam,
Mozzarella, mascarpone, livin’ the dairy dream.
From the curd to the wheel, it’s a country song,
Lactalis in Nampa, where the cheese rolls strong.
Verse 3
Salt that cheese, in a brine or a mix,
Flavor’s locked in, like a fence that’s fixed.
Fresh mozza’s ready, no time to age,
Pack it in brine or a vacuum-sealed stage.
String cheese for snackin’, shredded for the pie,
Galbani, Sorrento, under Idaho’s sky.
326,000 feet, this plant’s a big deal,
Automation hummin’, but the craft’s still real.
Bridge
From farms just 25 miles away,
Idaho milk’s flowin’ every day.
Friday at the store, noon to six, grab a bite,
Cultured by Lactalis, tastes just right.
Chorus
Makin’ cheese in Idaho, where the big skies gleam,
Mozzarella, mascarpone, livin’ the dairy dream.
From the curd to the wheel, it’s a country song,
Lactalis in Nampa, where the cheese rolls strong.
Outro
So here’s to the dairy, under Idaho’s sun,
Cheese-makin’ folks, gettin’ the job done.
From the pasture to the plate, it’s a tale we sing,
Lactalis in Nampa, let that country cheese ring.
