Production and Business
In the United States, several hundred million pounds of pizza cheese is consumed annually. In 1997, it was estimated that annual production of pizza cheese was 1 million tons (2 billion pounds) in the United States and 100,000 tons (200 million pounds) in Europe. It has been estimated that 30% of all pizza cheese used in the United States is Mozzarella cheese. As of 2000, demand for pizza cheese was growing in Europe by 8 percent per year. The world's largest manufacturer of pizza cheese, Leprino Foods Company, processes 600,000 tonnes (1.2 billion pounds) a year. Leprino Foods holds patents for some specialized Mozzarella production processes that enable the quick manufacture of pizza cheese. One such product is a frozen shredded cheese used for pizza that is created in a few hours from milk.

With homage to the perishable clay,
But lift them over it, ignore it all,
Make them forget there’s such a thing as flesh.
Your business is to paint the souls of men—”
