PVD FREE RUN FG SALT IS INDEED USED IN CHEESE MAKING, PRIMARILY FOR ITS ROLE IN CONTROLLING MOISTURE AND FLAVOUR, AS WELL AS FOR ITS PRESERVATIVE PROPERTIES. HERE'S HOW IT FITS INTO THE CHEESE PRODUCTION PROCESS.

USES ON CHEESE MAKING
  1. MOISTURE CONTROL: SALT HELPS TO DRAW MOISTURE OUT OF THE CHEESE CURD, WHICH IS CRUCIAL IN ACHIEVING THE RIGHT TEXTURE AND CONSISTENCY IN THE FINAL PRODUCT. BY CONTROLLING MOISTURE LEVELS, THE CHEESE DEVELOPS THE DESIRED FIRMNESS AND PREVENTS EXCESSIVE BACTERIAL GROWTH.
  2. FLAVOUR ENHANCEMENT: SALT ENHANCES THE FLAVOUR OF CHEESE. THE AMOUNT AND TYPE OF SALT USED CAN SIGNIFICANTLY INFLUENCE THE TASTE PROFILE OF THE CHEESE.
  3. PRESERVATION: SALT ACTS AS A PRESERVATIVE BY INHIBITING THE GROWTH OF UNWANTED BACTERIA AND MOULDS. THIS IS ESSENTIAL FOR EXTENDING THE SHELF LIFE OF CHEESE AND ENSURING ITS SAFETY DURING STORAGE.
  4. CURD FORMATION: DURING CHEESE MAKING, SALT HELPS IN THE COAGULATION PROCESS AND THE FORMATION OF CURDS. IT AIDS IN THE PROPER DEVELOPMENT OF CHEESE TEXTURE.

  3. FREE RUN: THIS LIKELY MEANS THE SALT IS DESIGNED FOR USE DIRECTLY IN FOOD APPLICATIONS WITHOUT ADDITIONAL PROCESSING.
APPLICATION TIPS

  2. EVEN DISTRIBUTION: ENSURE THAT THE SALT IS DISTRIBUTED THROUGHOUT THE CURD TO ACHIEVE UNIFORM FLAVOUR AND TEXTURE.
  3. REGULATORY COMPLIANCES: ALWAYS CHECK THAT THE SALT AND OTHER INGREDIENTS COMPLY WITH LOCAL FOOD SAFETY REGULATIONS.
