Abstract: A method of cheese production using ultrafiltrated, concentrated milk, to which is optionally added a further retentate made from ultrafiltrated milk which has been acidified with at least one starter culture to obtain a pH value of from 4.5 to 5.6. Salt and other additives are added and while supplying cheese rennet, the retentate is pumped into cheese molds or ready-made packages in which the cheese receives a final heat treatment at from 18.degree. to 65.degree. C. for a period of from 4 to 36 hours.

Abstract: Cheese curd is produced by coagulating a milk product during its passage through a long coagulator tube under renneting conditions giving a relatively slow coagulation course. The milk product is renneted in-line and the renneted mixture is fed periodically to the inlet end of the coagulator tube during feeding periods with intermediate stand still periods, the length of a feeding period being selected so that no essential coagulation occurs in the mixture from its introduction into the coagulator tube up to the successive stand still period, and the length of a stand still period being selected so that the mixture after having been subjected to one stand still period in the coagulator tube forms a sufficiently firm coagulum to be transported by feeding new mixture during the successive feeding period towards the outlet end of the coagulator tube as a continuous plug.

Abstract: In the manufacture of Cheese of the "pasta filata" type, an intermediate product is obtained by carrying out the coagulation of a protein concentrate, obtained by ultrafiltration of milk, by means of an acid whose concentration is selected so that the calcium concentration, in the coagel resulting from the coagulation, after separation of liquid, is below about 1.5% calculated on the weight of fatfree dry solids.
