Shortening Dariworld Process of Making Cheese

Abstract

The time required to make cheese by the Dariworld process from addition of 1% starter to hooping is about six hours. By using 2.5 or 4% starter, and adding rennet immediately after the starter, the total making time can be reduced 16 or 25%. The usual acidity of about pH 6.0 at dipping and pH 5.4 at second heating are observed. Curd making, cheese composition, and grades are not significantly altered by increased starter and rate of acid development.
