Abstract: The invention concerns a device for making soft cheese or fresh paste cheese comprising at least a first set of perforated cheese-moulds and at least a second set of perforated cheese-moulds arranged in a chamber. The invention is characterized in that said first and second sets of cheese-moulds are designed to be fitted one into the other.

Abstract: Soft paste cheese is formed by mixing curd forming additives from burettes (12) to milk flowing in a funnel (11) and directing the resulting curd forming milk mixture into a basin-like receptacle (21) in which a mold block (23) made up of an array of vertically elongated perforated molds (24) of substantially uniform and unobstructed cross section have been placed to fill the receptacle and the molds and, after curds and whey have formed and stratified, removing the whey (34) and lifting the molds as a group onto a draining plate (37), placing inverted molds (39) of like cross section over the molds (24) and turning the mold assembly to turn the cheese (41) therein for further draining and removing the cheese from the molds (39).
