The Mammoth Cheese Perth Ontario
Description

To help promote Canadian cheese-making internationally, twelve Larnark County cheesemakers contributed a day’s worth of milk each to help make the "World’s Largest Cheese" for the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair. The finished product cost weighted 22,000 lbs and stood six feet tall. It was made from the equivalent of one day’s milk from 10,000 cows!

A full scale reconstruction of the original Mammoth Cheese is now a monument at the Tay Basin in Downtown Heritage Perth.
