Don't just 'Say Cheese' , say #GoCheese Why?. Read on...
Seeing is believing and that's why the food bloggers from Mumbai were invited by Femina to visit the #GoCheeseWorld located at Manchar village, Pune for FAM trip. On 19th March 2016, we set off from Bandra to Manchar ( Parag Milk Foods - #GoCheese plant ) to the tune of Antakshari.
Ms.Pooja Khanna 2blissofbaking.com Best Baking Blogger and her daughters made our 3 hours journey sweet n swift. The prettiest, nutty brownies I had ever eaten, were baked and generously shared with the whole lot of bloggers by Pooja. Geeta Shridhar FoodExpress from Chennai , khilaaoed Idli-podi to all, Cadbury chocolates to some and gave her share of Brownie to ME. Our chirpy hostess Ms. Sofia Event Manager of Femina, distributed boxes of Mongini's snacks.
To top this all Food fun, our travelling from Mumbai to Manchar was totally a visual treat too... The first look of #GoCheeseWorld (A fully integrated dairy company) was naturally enticing with Mango laden trees. Some of the bloggers could not resist and had to pluck the kairis.
#GoCheeseWorld is a home grown dairy farm and the leading cheese manufacturing factory of India owned by one of the pioneers of dairy products in India, Parag Milk Foods. The brand portfolio consists various dairy products such as Gowardhan, Pride of Cows, Topp Up and Go.
We , the bloggers were welcomed with cool, refreshing Minty Mojitos, GO Badam Milk, GO Chaas, Lassi, Topp up flavored milk etc. and led into the spacious assembly hall for a briefing about #GoCheeseWorld.
The Bhagyalakshmi cow-farm (comprising 3500cows) the most awaited itinerary of our FAM trip made us rush to the buses. As usual we went into photo-frenzy mode on the way at the very sight of green plants adorned with magenta hued pomegranates

Finally, when we reached the farm, we were amazed by the large, clean n green farm, where cows were roaming n playing around. Parag Milk Foods, earlier known as Gowardhan dairy (uses only Cow's milk) traditionally produces Ghee (clarified butter), Dahi (curd), Pouch milk, Paneer etc.
Now #GoCheeseWorld has expanded, modernized it's operations to produce variety of cheeses, flavored milk, yogurt, fresh cream, paneer, buttermilk etc. We returned to assembly hall for a sumptuous lunch choc a block with variety of pasta, pizza , lasagna , mousse, tarts, cheese, salads etc.
Next, on our agenda was the factory visit, which was an enjoyable experience as we wore medical aprons, face-masks, caps, thoroughly sanitized our hands and machine washed our feet. Most gluttonous members of our group loved this cheese factory visit as they got to taste the freshest, warmest cheese ever. Tasting done, it was time to test our grasping power. Quiz-session gave us ample opportunity to win #GoCheese goodies at the assembly hall.
