The diagram below shows the process of making cheese. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant.

The diagram illustrates a linear process to produce

cheese

.

Overall

, there are ten steps in

cheese

production, commencing with fresh milk being processed and culminating with ripened

cheese

being the end product. Regarding the first four stages, unpasteurized milk can be processed in two ways. In most

cheese

-making processes, it first goes through pasteurization,

then

standardization and filtration,

whereas

in the traditional method, all of these aforementioned procedures are dispensable.

Next,

milk is added to a tank with fermenting microorganisms and rennet (enzyme).

Thereafter

, the liquid thickens to form curds and whey, which are later cut, stirred, and cooked. Concerning the

last

five stages, after the whey is drained out, leftover curds are milled before being seasoned with salt, creating fresh

cheese

(i.e., cottage and cream

cheese

). The process resumes when the composition is poured into metal moulds and pressed to drain additional whey. Once matured, ripened

cheese

is produced and ready to be consumed or sold to consumers.
