Model Answer
The given picture illustrates the steps in the production of soft cheese. It can be clearly seen that five main steps are there in the making of soft cheese.
Initially, water and milk are mixed in a mixer. After this step the mixture is cooled at 5°C for 2 hours. In the following step, the cooled mixture is sent for fermentation at 35°C for 2 hours. But, before fermentation, salt is added to the cooled mixture. Then, the fermented mixture is evaporated at 100°C for eight hours. Steam is allowed to escape through an outlet. Finally the mixture is sent for cooling. This is done at 5°C for eight hours. The mixture becomes very thick on cooling. At the bottom is a filter through which the water is filtered out and on the top is an outlet through which the cheese is filtered out. This is very soft in consistency.
Overall, it can be seen that the process of making soft cheese is a very complicated process involving many steps. However, the final product is a very soft cheese, which is delicious to eat.
