Dr. Goddik spent time in France studying with cheese makers at leading schools and has used that knowledge to help the industry grow in Oregon through her cheese making classes. She has grown OSU’s support efforts for the industry as the number of artisan cheese businesses has expanded from just a handful to 19 commercial operations over the past 10 years. The Oregon Dairy Industries donated $25,000 to support her work in 2007, providing critical funding for cutting-edge equipment for classes at OSU. Oregon dairy farmers and Tillamook Creamery have also supported Dr. Goddik’s research on milk quality, cheese, and whey. Show Site Map
