Premium Quality Raw Milk Selection
The secret of Berberoğlu Milk Kashar Cheese’s flavor begins with the freshest and highest quality raw milk. The milk is obtained from healthy cows raised under hygienic conditions and delivered to processing facilities via rapid cold chain systems. To preserve the milk’s natural structure, pasteurization is performed at controlled temperatures, thus maintaining maximum nutritional values.
Traditional Curdling and Coagulation
The milk is curdled using special cheese enzymes and natural cultures. During this stage, acidity balance and temperature are carefully controlled. The resulting curd is cut with special blades into cheese grains. These grains represent one of the most crucial stages in determining the cheese’s texture.
The Art of Kneading and Curd Formation
The cheese grains are kneaded with water at specific temperatures and strained to form curds. Berberoğlu’s experienced masters monitor the cheese’s texture and elasticity at this stage to achieve the ideal consistency. The curd is placed into molds, pressed, and excess water is removed.
