How It´s made: Cheese

Quality cheese begins with one key ingredient: Milk. Before the cheesemaking process begins, incoming milk is first tested for quality and purity. It takes approximately 10 pounds of milk to make one pound of cheese. Next, the milk is heat treated to ensure product safety and uniformity.

Then, they add a bacteria to start the cheesemaking process. They help determine the ultimate flavor and texture of the cheese. Then they coagulate de Milk, forming a mass.

It's then cut into small pieces to begin the process of separating the liquid (whey) from the milk solids (curds). Large curds are cooked at lower temperatures, making softer cheeses like Mascarpone and Ricotta. Curds cut smaller are cooked at higher temperatures, yielding harder cheeses like Gruyere and Romano. After that, the mass will be drained, so the whey will be separated from curds.

Curds will have some transformation, so they will be different kinds of cheese. Then, they press the curds. Pressing determines the characteristic shape of the cheese and helps complete the curd formation. Most cheeses are pressed in three to 12 hours, depending on their size.

Depending on the variety and style of cheese, another step may be curing. Curing is used for aged cheeses and helps fully develop its flavor and texture. The cheese is moved to a room that is carefully controlled for required humidity and temperature and may be aged for 10 years or more.
