Mooncheese Production Process

Step 1: Lunar Harvesting

Mooncheese begins its journey on the moon, where specially trained teams of lunar herders coax the finest, creamiest moonbeasts into the harvesting area. These moonbeasts are then transported to the production facility in a highly regulated, zero-gravity atmosphere.

Step 2: Cream Separation

The harvested moonbeasts are then subjected to a rigorous cream-separation process, where the creamiest of creams is extracted and set aside for further processing. This step is crucial in creating the signature smoothness of mooncheese.

Step 3: Aging and Affinamiento

After cream separation, the remaining solid is aged to perfection under a carefully controlled environment of low-gravity and high-tension. The Affinamiento process involves a series of intricate, ritualistic dance moves performed by the cheesemakers to awaken the flavors within.

Step 4: Final Shaping and Packaging

With the mooncheese now at its peak ripeness, it is carefully shaped and packaged into its signature wheel form. Each wheel is then hand-inscribed with a unique, cryptic message, adding to the allure and mystique of this rare and wondrous cheese.
