The diagram illustrates the process by which cheese is produced.
Overall, the process consists of nine steps, grouped into three main stages: an initial stage where curds are prepared by mixing raw milk in a special container, followed by processing and forming, and concluding with maturation and distribution of the finished cheese to shops for consumption.
The process begins when raw milk is combined with bacteria and enzymes, causing acidification to occur. Once acidified, the mixture undergoes solidification, producing curds. These curds are then removed from the container and cut into small pieces to facilitate further processing. After being cut, the curds are heated and drained, and during this stage salt is added to produce cheese. Having been salted, the cheese is then shaped into specific forms.
In the final stage, the shaped cheese undergoes fermentation for approximately two months, after which it is packaged. Finally, the packaged cheese is delivered to shops for sale and consumption.
