Brine for cheese

Brining cheese is an important step in producing a quality product. Follow the steps below to properly brine the cheese.

Preparing the brine solution

First, you need to prepare the brine solution:

1. Take 5 liters of boiled water.
2. Add 3 kg of salt. Note that some salt should remain undissolved. If all the salt has dissolved, add more.
3. Let the solution cool.

Brining process

The brining time for cheese directly depends on its mass and density:

• If the cheese is delicate, calculate 50 minutes for every 100 grams of weight.
• For denser cheese, the time increases to 60 minutes for every 100 grams.

Pay attention to the water temperature during the brining process. It should be 10-12 degrees Celsius.
