Cheesemaking
A few helpful daily tips
How to calculate the size of wrapping paper based on the cheese to be wrapped?
There are mathematical formulas for evaluating the wrapping of a cheese. These formulas are presented below:
Cylindrical cheese: Length = Width = (2 X H + 2.33 X Ø) / 1.414
Standard square cheese: Length = 2 X H + 2 X c + 20 mm; Width = 2 X H + c
Optimized square cheese: Length = Width = (2 X H + 2 X c + 40 mm) / 1.41
Half-moon cheese: Length = 2 X H + Ø + 20 mm; Width = 2 X H + Ø
Rectangular cheese: Length = 2 X H + 2 X l + 20 mm; Width = 2 X H + L
Tip/Cone: Length = Width = (4 X r / 3 + 2 X H + 10 mm) / 1.41
How to choose a cheese mould?
Choosing a cheese mould is done by first considering the product you want to market and its unit price.
From there, you need to:
- Determine the final weight of the product to be manufactured
- Choose the dimensions of the product based on the weight
- Find a corresponding mould
The moulds are classified by type of use on the website. Some cheeses can be made in several different types of moulds. We therefore suggest that you set the parameters of the type of cheese, the unit weight and the shape before contacting us so that we can propose options according to your needs.
How can I access recipes and manufacturing techniques adapted to the products?
We have manufacturing recipes suitable for processing volumes of over 1,000 liters. Request them from customer service.
