Cheese Making Process

Step One

Lorry delivering milk supply

Milk is collected from farms and tested for quality. After delivery it is pasteurised then piped into large vats.

Step Two

Startes added to the vats

Special cultures known as starters are put into the vats to make the milk sour. Rennet is then added.

Step Three

Curds and whey poured onto cheese table

The rennett causes the soured milk to separate into curds and whey which are eventually poured onto special cheese tables.

Step Four

Stirring the curd

Whey is drained away and the curds are stirred and turned, breaking them up and easing drainage.

Step Five

Cheese being placed into mould

Curds are then salted, milled into small pieces, and placed into moulds ready for pressing.

Step Six

Vacuum packing the cheese

After pressing the cheese is taken out of the moulds and vacuum packed in special bags. The cheese is placed into chilled storage where the maturing process begins.
