Dairy products are generally defined as food or consumables produced from milk. A production plant for processing milk products is called a dairy. Raw milk for processing generally comes from cows, but occasionally from other animals such as goats or sheep. While some people think of eggs as dairy products, they do not in fact come from dairies. Some of the most common dairy products are milk in various forms (whole milk, skim milk, creams, buttermilk, etc.), cheese, butter, yogurt, and ice cream. Cheese in particular has a wide variety of forms and sub-categories. There are literally hundreds of types of cheese. Dairy products can be purchased at virtually any grocery store or supermarket.
