5. Development of the cheesemaking industry

In the centre of the room is a tvarůžky moulding machine from the 1950s and in the corner is a tvarůžky washing machine. On the walls there is an overview of where the production of Olomoucké tvarůžky is documented and where it was produced in Loštice. There is also a Wessels family tree composed in terms of tvarůžky production. Furthermore there is the period of the socialisation of tvarůžky factories (1949-1989). At that time, dozens of tvarůžkárna disappeared. The original factory of Karl and Františka Pivný returned to its original owners and underwent a general reconstruction.
