Minas Frescal: A State-of-the-Art Dairy Factory for Fresh Cheeses

About the Project

Minas Frescal is a cutting-edge dairy factory designed to produce a wide range of fresh cheeses. The project aims to cater to the growing demand for high-quality dairy products while promoting sustainable and efficient production methods.

Production Method

The production process at Minas Frescal involves the following steps:

The raw milk is first received and stored in a refrigerated tank. It is then pasteurized to eliminate any bacteria and extend its shelf life. The pasteurized milk is then cooled to a temperature suitable for cheese production.

The milk is then mixed with cheese cultures and rennet to initiate the coagulation process. The mixture is left to incubate for a specific period, allowing the curds to firm up and separate from the whey.

The curds are then cut and stirred to release more whey and create a smooth texture. The mixture is then heated to a temperature that causes the curds to melt and release even more whey.

The curds are then shaped into their desired form and placed in a brine solution to develop their characteristic flavor and texture.

Finally, the cheeses are packaged and shipped to retailers and consumers.

The business sectors involved in the project include:

• Dairy farming
