The picture depicts the reguralised method of preparing cheese.
Overall, the process turns liquid raw milk into solid cheese with a few by-products like fresh cheese, cottage and cream cheese.
The common cheese making technique starts with the pasteurization of raw milk which then, undergoes standardization and filtartion. An enzyme called rennet, is added to it for coagualtion which is also know an curdling of the milk. The milk is broken into curds and whey. In traditional cheese making, raw milk undergoes coagulation through innoculation of fermenting microorganisms.
The coagulated milk is then cut, stirred and cooked. Whey is drained from this mixture leaving the curds behind. Furthermore, these curds are then milled,salted and poured into molds. It is further pressed to drain additional whey. The pressed cheese is ripened for about nine months to form ripened cheese. The salted and milled curds can be used to make fresh cheese, cottage and cream cheese before pressing them.
