Abstract
A method for producing cheese and a device therefore, in particular what is known as a cassette press with round or angular cheese molds. The method is intended in particular to achieve gentle and hygienic de-molding of the cheese blocks after removal of whey. A raw cheese mass is first poured into molds of a cassette press, then pressed to remove liquid and emptied out of the mold after a turning process. Directly after turning, the raw cheese mass in the mold is subjected to a shaking movement, so the pressed raw cheese mass is detached gently from the inner wall of the mold.
Claims5
A method for producing cheese blocks, wherein a raw cheese mass is poured into a mould and then pressed to remove liquid, the pressed raw cheese mass is detached from an inner wall of the mould and after a turning process emptied out of the mould,
- wherein the raw cheese mass in the mould is subjected to a mechanized shaking movement immediately after turning and prior to emptying out of the mould;
- wherein the shaking movement comprises at least a few strokes at low frequency;
- and
- wherein the low frequency used is dependent on size of the cheese blocks with bigger cheese blocks using lower low frequency than smaller cheese blocks.
