Premium Quality Raw Milk Selection
The secret of Berberoğlu Cheddar Cheese’s flavor begins with the freshest and highest quality raw milk. The milk is delivered from specially selected farms to production facilities under hygienic conditions while maintaining the cold chain. The milk’s fat content, protein level, and microbiological quality are analyzed at the initial stage, with only the best being included in the production process.
Pasteurization and Fermentation with Starter Cultures
The selected milk undergoes hygienic pasteurization to eliminate harmful microorganisms. Then, specially developed starter cultures are added to ensure controlled fermentation of the milk. This stage is one of the most important processes that gives the cheese its characteristic aroma.
Coagulation and Cutting Process
After fermentation is complete, rennet is added to coagulate the milk. The resulting curd is carefully cut into small pieces using special cutting blades. This process allows the cheese to release whey (whey separation) and helps achieve the ideal consistency.
