What the source says
Indeed, 17.0 million tonnes of skimmed milk together with 59.9 million tonnes of whole milk were used to produce 10.8 million tonnes of cheese in the EU in 2024.
Checked: the figure 10.8 million tonnes is stated in this passage. If it does not match, the extraction is wrong and we want to know.
