Calcium chloride is an agent used in cheesemaking in order to increase the cheese production efficiency. It is indispensable when using low-heat-pasteurised milk or milk with low calcium content. Calcium chloride improves the consistency and curd forming potential of milk. When used, it reduced casein and fat losses.
Thanks to calcium chloride, the cheesemaking curd is denser and easier to process, contributing to easier shrinkage of cheesemaking grain.
