When the curd is in the cheese mold, pressure is applied to the cheese mold via a cheese press for a certain amount of time. This compacts the outer layer of the cheese into a tightly closed rind and gives the cheese its characteristic shape. The rind protects the cheese from external influences and damage during transport.
Depending on the number of cheese molds and the degree of automation, C. van ‘t Riet Zuiveltechnologie B.V. offers different types of cheese presses where ease of operation and durability are key.
