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.

Famous quotes containing the words production and, production and/or business:
“The heart of man ever finds a constant succession of passions, so that the destroying and pulling down of one proves generally to be nothing else but the production and the setting up of another.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
“An art whose limits depend on a moving image, mass audience, and industrial production is bound to differ from an art whose limits depend on language, a limited audience, and individual creation. In short, the filmed novel, in spite of certain resemblances, will inevitably become a different artistic entity from the novel on which it is based.”
—George Bluestone, U.S. educator, critic. “The Limits of the Novel and the Limits of the Film,” Novels Into Film, Johns Hopkins Press (1957)
“A mere literary man is a dull man; a man who is solely a man of business is a selfish man; but when literature and commerce are united, they make a respectable man.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
