A place where cheese is made or sold; a cheese factory, dairy, or cheesemonger's shop.
Formed from 'cheese' + '-ery' (Old English '-ie'), creating nouns meaning 'place of work' or 'place where something is made.' This parallels words like 'bakery' and 'brewery'.
Medieval cheeseries were often among the biggest businesses in rural communities—producing cheese was literally how farmers survived winter by preserving milk's nutrients in a form that wouldn't spoil.
