The diagram illustrates how cheese is made with different types, including the traditional one and modern cheese making.
Overall, the entire diagram can be divided into three main phases. The first comprises the transformation from basic ingredient to solid mixture, the second phase requires several steps to create the mould containing product, and the period of waiting for final product is the last stage.
To specify, the main ingredient is separated into two ways, while the prevalent process must go through various stage, the traditional one, which is shorter, go straight to coagulation step. With modern producing, pasteurization is where the milk go next before it undergo a process of standardizating and filtration to select and remove unnecessary things. The combination of curds and whey is the final product of this phase, rennet enzyme and fermenting microogranisms are added to catalyze for coagulating step.
The next phase would observe that a specific tool use for cutting the curdled mixture. After that, curds are being stirred and cooked and put in a tank, which have a outside tube for whey draining. The machine applies force to crush the curd into small pieces and those fractures are mixed with salt and laid onto the roller machine. Some of that will be chosen to be fresh cheese, that include cottage and cream cheese, while others will be poured into round-shape molds. The process of pressing would take place afterward, when round blocks are compressed into perfect shape and whey are drained from that will be added to the final cheese.
The waiting period, know as the important phase, is when cheese are taken out of mold and storage for a long time of ripening, especially the time is the decided factor to produce many types of cheese. Finally, the process complete with product as ripened cheese.
