The diagram given illustrates the procedure of making cheese in a factory.
Overall, the production of cheese involves a myriad of steps to derive the final cheese.The cheese can be made through traditional or modern methods.The process involves, pasteurizing the milk,filtering,curdling,milling,ripening before making the product.
At the outset, after the collection of raw milk, in the traditional method, inoculation is done by fermenting the microorganisms present in the milk.Whereas, making cheese is mostly done by pasteurizing the milk.Followed by standardization and filtration of the pasteurized milk.The next step is, coagulation also known as curdling which has a combination of curds and whey, in both methods an enzyme(rennet) is added.Subsequently,Cutting the product with an equipment happens before cooking it while stirring.
Next,the curds are drained to remove whey and go through milling.After that, salt is mechanically added.This step produces fresh cheese.After being salted, The mixture is poured into molds to be pressed by machines.While being pressed, the excess whey would be drained and the ripening happens for specific hours before culminating the final ripened cheese.
