Coalho Cheese Factory

The Coalho cheese factory is a type of dairy processing plant that specializes in the production of coalho cheese, a popular and traditional cheese in Brazil. This article will provide an overview of the production method, business sectors, production flowchart, main equipment, and feasibility study of this enterprise.

Production Method

The production of coalho cheese involves several steps, including milk collection, pasteurization, acidification, coagulation, curdling, and aging. The milk is first collected from local dairy farms and transported to the factory for pasteurization. The pasteurized milk is then acidified with a natural acid such as citric acid or vinegar to lower its pH. The acidified milk is then coagulated with rennet, a natural enzyme that helps to separate the curds from the whey. The curds are then cut into small pieces and allowed to sit for a period of time to allow the whey to separate. The curds are then molded into their final shape and aged for several months to develop their characteristic flavor and texture.

Business Sectors

The coalho cheese factory operates in several business sectors, including:

• Dairy processing
• Food manufacturing
• Export and import
• Retail and wholesale
