ABSTRACT:
A process and apparatus for the production of cheese. Milk is initially concentrated by ultrafiltration and diafiltration to obtain the desired buffer capacity to lactose ratio in the retentate. Following concentration, an acid, an acid precursor, or a lactic acid producing starter culture is added to the retentate and the retentate is fermented to obtain a final pH of about 4.9 to 5.6 and preferably 5.1 to 5.2. After complete fermentation, a coagulant, such as rennet, is added to the fermented retentate to produce curds. The curds are subsequently treated to remove moisture and obtain the final solids content and texture. The curds can then be drained, salted and pressed. By reaching to a final pH before coagulation, better pH control is obtained over the final product.
