The Semi-Hard Cheese Production Line is designed for various types of cheese, including soft, hard, and semi-hard varieties. Adjustments can be made during the curd treatment and pressing phases to suit specific cheese types.
The main process includes pre-treatment and ripening, curd formation, fermentation, shaping, brining, and packaging. Each step is crucial for ensuring high-quality cheese with the desired texture and flavor.
During the pre-treatment phase, milk is treated and can be pre-ripened with a bacteria culture that is suitable for the cheese type. This step is essential for developing the cheese's flavor profile.
Rennet is added to coagulate the milk, transforming it into a solid gel called coagulum. This is a key step in the cheese-making process.
The coagulum is cut into small cubes using special cutting tools to promote whey expulsion. The size of these cubes is adjusted based on the desired cheese texture. After cutting, the curd is placed in molds to define the cheese's shape.
Bacterial growth is essential as it produces lactic acid from the milk's lactose, enhancing the cheese's flavor. This process occurs during the fermentation phase.
Syneresis is the expulsion of whey from the curd. It is promoted through mechanical stirring and the application of heat during the cheese production process.
During brining, the cheese is soaked in a salt solution, which adds flavor and preserves the product. This step is critical for the final taste and shelf life of the cheese.
The finished cheese is coated, wrapped, or packed for distribution, ensuring it is protected and maintained for optimal freshness.
