KEY PROCESS INSIGHTS
What Makes Each Step Matter?
Different cheese types require different control at critical processing stages. From curd formation and moisture control to pressing and stretching, each step influences the structure, texture and consistency of the final cheese.
01CURD MAKING
Building the Foundation of Cheese
Temperature · Coagulation · CuttingPrecise control of temperature, coagulation and curd cutting helps establish the moisture, texture and yield of the final cheese.
02CURD PROCESSING
Controlling Moisture and Curd Structure
Whey Drainage · Curd Handling · Moisture ControlControlled whey drainage and gentle curd handling help achieve the required moisture level and curd structure for downstream processing.
03PRESSING
Shaping Texture Through Controlled Pressing
Forming · Pressure · Whey RemovalControlled pressing helps remove residual whey, consolidate the curd and develop the required shape and texture of semi-hard and hard cheeses.
04HEATING & STRETCHING
Creating the Signature Pasta Filata Structure
Heating · Stretching · FormingAfter suitable acidification, the curd is heated and stretched to develop the characteristic fibrous and elastic structure of Pasta Filata cheese.REAL CHEESE PRODUCTION PROCESS
